Ok well ive started an attic flower room.
Temps were hitting 142 degrees F during the day about a month ago.
Demensions: 8x8 floor space, 8 foot ceiling. but walls are the current truss system of house<prism shape>.
Medium: Coco coirXgeneral hydroponics
A/C:5k btu ac<10k btu portable available when second light goes live>
Lighting: 1000w xxxl 6 inch reflector<2 1000w watters after im comfortabel
interior walls are sealed with 10 mil. plastic<very thick> glues to studs/trusses.
i have a 5K btu ac mounted in a corner, currently i have only hung one of my 1000W xxl hoods 6 in. exhaust attached 465 CFM squirrel fan mounted out side the room exhausting out of the attic.<all ballasts are outside as well>
I'm hoping that the window unit ac will work for my cooling since i'm only running my lights<eventually i plan to hook up my other 1000w light>with only my fan and ac runnning no, light yet, i was able to drop the entire attic space down to 68 degrees F tonight. outdoor temps were around 75 degrees. tomorrow I will seal my room and plug my light in and give it a test run.
Should i use insulation batts and plywood or insulation styrofoam boards for my exterior walls? And what rating should i use?
ANY POINTERS are welcome. its gonna happen so any naysayers without constructive comments can kiss it
