What exactly is wrong with the roof? What are the dimensions of the room, including height? Are you planning to do soil or hydro? You need to know all of this in order to set up the best possible system... let me know when you get some pics...

i also need to on how i can make an entrance but from the outside it shouldn't look like theres anything behined the wall in this room ,through this wall you walk into a bigger room at the end of the room i want a wall with a secret entrance to a smaller room and in this room is where i will be setting up the lil project, but first the walls ,floor ,ceiling and *roof*

i know where the air vents are going, but you guys please give me better ideas and design plans on to go abiut doing it,

i was thinking just make a box frame in the room and cover it with b/w sheeting & white sheeting and theres the grow room!
what should i do???

all ive done so far is hose the room out with water, but know im thinking its going to be covered, pics of the room coming soon, no cam
You'll need to get someone in to inspect it, if the roof needs supporting.

Get hold of plaster board and nail/pin it to the walls and ceiling, plaster over it too..

i'd wash the entire room down with some water/bleach combo, make sure the bleach % to water % isn't too strong..

You could alternatively do what you've already stated and build a frame out of wood and like it with panda film.

Check out the following link, it's a good grow and shows you how the grow "tent" was set up : https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/81504-chill-winston-ggs-escape-paradise.html

Hope this helps.

You could put a wall over the door and put a secret door through the roof that has a ladder running to the floor. Just a thought. :bigjoint:

Is the ceiling just beams and then floorboards above the beams?

Like in an unconverted attic?

I would just tear out the ceiling skip the gap, insulate and hang a new ceiling, drywall. You wouldn't even ave to finish the drywall, just tape it. Then you get great height, Sativa Come back with white poly. What are the dimensions of the room? You gonna have a veg/flower. Or gonna go with one room approach? what about electric,water,A/C,venting,sound,security? Gonna go Hydro?
