Been thinking bout growing in mine. FUCKING HOT up there... 133*F. Gonna check into my options of how to build my room or box (which ever I decide)

Plan on re-routing 2 or 3 air vents to the attic.

Do you just vent through your roof?

ive done 2 attics radiant heat is the biggest problem, if you have the space i recommend building a room with a ceiling allowing space between roof and ceiling and cooling entire attic with a gable fan i did this the second time around cooled it with a 5000btu portable venting to attic 8x8 room with veg cab and 600hps cooltube to flower stayed cooltube also make it easy to vent to attic and not worry bout heat the first attic we did ran a 10000 btu ac constantly to overcome heat from roof
 
build a room up there it will be easier to control the temps even easier if you insulate that room than you will definitely need an a/c 10000btu is best for that situation. and fresh outside air vented in or air from another room in the house but not attic air..you can exhaust into the attic and make some holes somewhere to release the hot air
