ok im gonna post how ive run the ac up in my attic.
i cut 2 2x4's and placed them perpendicular to the studs and set the ac on top of it in the attic. I took what i can only describe as what you would have as a vent connector thing that would be used to connect an hvac system to the vent and stuck inside the ac where it blows cold air. then i blocked the rest of the ac so that all the cool air flows through that connector thing and then into my grow room. i sealed it with great stuff
Why Use GREAT STUFF? that shit is amazing for sealing and insulation and shit and its not expensive.
here are some pics of my attic ventilation setup with ac.
that thing stickin out of the ac is the connector and it runs straight to the grow room.

grow update. the plants are doin ok in the flower room. apparently the rez got really low and it could have been worse. but my roommate fucked up the timers and the plants went all day with no water and man i could telll that the plants did not like it at all. the leaves curled up on more than one plant where the light is most intense. it was pretty frustrating too, the plants really dont need anymore stress. there are 6.5 plants left. i think that there is one or 2 more males but im gonna give them a chance before i chop them. veg room plants are showing signs of recovery so hopefully they will all do well.
cam if you need me to take more pics i can easily do so and post them for you. i hope my other pics help you get and idea of what it looks like. The ac is set to 66 degrees i think, im not positive, and it runs for 15 on 15 off all day and night im pretty sure. again if you have any more questions just ask
