depends on your budget i suppose, but the sloped ceiling should direct all of the warm air into one small area making for efficient exhaust.

if it were up to me, i'd have a smaller veg box for 5-6 mothers and do a perpetual no veg SOG, DrBudGreengenes style with the rest of your space. this would make for a healthy weekly harvest. so take say 4 cuttings each off of two mothers the first week, 4 more each off of the next two the following week, and so on. you should easily be able to get 4 cuttings/plant every third week and keep this going indefinately until you max out your space, lights, or patience. You would have more than enough real estate for that and I think it's the most time and space efficient way to grow.

why spend months veging a few plants when you can flower 8 colas a week?

Panda film the entire thing, put in a light and grow.

Keep the light about the height where the wall starts to slant and you should be fine. That's the only way I can see this space being completely used..

I need some building ideas, maybe someone who had the same room...

If you build anything in there it's going to take up that valued space that you have. :D

Honestly, the only real solution that I can see that is relatively cheap and gives you the maximum space you need is to panda film it and hang lights.

I know you have itchy fingers to build something but when there is no need to.. As they say..If it is not broke don't fix it.

right, cooltubes are essential in such a setup right :bigjoint:

cool were getting further, what you guys think of the stadium growing ?

I'd like to try that... :)

Come to think of it a stadium grow would work pretty good in the small space that you have.
You could tilt the reflector to reflect all the light onto the plants instead of on the walls.

Use a cool tube. Panda film the room. Ventilate well and you should have no problem!

looks a lot like my room. Mine had insulation on the floor so I put the insulation off to the side of my area, put plywood over the rafters, covered the whole room in thick black construction plastic, thus sectioning off the space of the attic I used. Then I put up mylar on the cieling and walls, wired the light to a stand and put it in the taller section. With the vaulted ceiling mylar on the top is pretty key.
