Whatz goin on Roll it up! Ive been growing my plants for about 2 months and a week or so and they look good for what I know! I had a spare room in my attic so I moved my veg room into there. My room is big enough to be split into 2 so i devided it and made the other side into my grow room. So far i have a squirl fan that has not been set up yet and one fan that circulates through out the room. The 2 rooms arent officially seperated i just have a blanket that i pinned up against the corners. I tin foild the whole room ground and sides and the sides are about 4-5 ft high! in my veg room i have to lamp fixtures that have 2 40w cool white bulbs in each of them and in my grow room i have a 400w hps with red spec

tin foil is bad and creates alot of hotspots. so you have veg room and flower room seperated by a blanket? make 100% sure no light goes through that "wall"
how are the temps up there now that summer is aproaching? i was considering my own attic before i built my room but ambient temps up there when the sun was at the brightest was well over 90f hehe.

im not exactly sure what you need assistance with here as there is no question... what do you need advice on?

Well I have tin foil on the floor and this cellophane type of wrap and yea it's a blanket and I made sure that there is no light that seeps through! And yea it gets prett hot in my attic which is y I have 1 fan that oscillates throughout the attic and one fan thatz on in my actual room where my plants are so I try to maintain an 80-85 degrees in the room through daytime! And wut I'm askin for advice for is if my room is a good setup for best growth and if I should make and changes to it

well im wondering what type of 40w bulbs you are referring to since the wattage for some reason made me thing theese were incandecents lol.

also any pictures of your grow would really help. its hard to come with suggestions without seeing how things are setup..

in an attic in the summer i would put your squirrel cage fant inside the flowering chamber and run exhaust outside if at all possible. it would increase airflow in the room. is the hps cooltubed? i dont suppose your ac unit is in your attic is it? i see that in alot of houses more and more...the central heat and air is in the attic. like crazeehaze said some pics would really help. just thought of something...do you have turbins on your roof? or ridge vents? or even a vent in siding or something? a carbon filter hanging right under a turbine is a great idea to suck the exhaust out...thats what their for.
