Contructing a 6x8x8f grow room in attic. Attic stays around 50 degrees F. Making a totally sealed room made of 1/2 inch plywood. I'm pulling air from basement (68 degrees F) into grow room. Pushing air out of how room to outside with a squirrel cage fan. 100 Cfm. The same fan will also be pulling hot air from my 600 watt hps air cooled hood. I will also have a 150 watt hps in the same room. Does this design sound good? Will my room be too cold because if the cold air in the attic? I have a small heater invade I that.

What kind of light are you planning to use? If you are going 1000 W, I wouldn't worry about the temps being too cool, on the contrary, you might want to move more air than that to keep your temps low enough. I might go two 600 W hps, to keep the lights cooler and closer to the canopy.

Your attic isn't gonna stay 50°F for very long. Much better to grow in the basement. Unless this is for winter only.
