Hello everyone I am putting together a grow room out of a spare bedroom we have. Since its my first time I was hoping to get some advice on lights, ventilation, temperature and perhaps some ideas on how to lay out the room. My experience is absoloutley zero, but im very experienced at consuming the plant 
What I want to accomplish with this room, I want to have space for 2 motherplants, a vegetative area and a flowering area. The drying will be done in a seperate room inside a sealed off grow tent.
So lets begin with the room! Its in the second floor of our house, the roof of the room is part of the house so the room has a low end and a high end (pictures later will show).
How do you figure out cubic feet of the entire room when the roof is at an angle of what I can see with my eyes to be almost a 45 degree angle.
5.7 feet wide
14.43 feet long
7 feet tall (High end)
3.5 feet tall (Low end)
From the low end to the high end theres a 5.25 feet length.
Heres what Ive thought of so far, on the right side of the green line I will make 1,7 Feet wide, 3.5 feet tall (On the low end) and 4.75 feet tall (On the high end) growbox on that entire side all the way up to the roof. On this side I will have the 2 mother plants and a good row of space for vegetative plants. I was thinking of running 2x 125 watt cfl for the motherplants. 3x 250 watt cfl for the vegetative area.
On the left side of the green line this is where i thought id put the flowering area. This space will be 4 feet wide and 14.43 feet long and I also have to include the space I will need to work around inside of that area. I was thinking of putting up 2x 600 watt HPS and maybe a 400 watt hps if it is needed. (Because of the length of the room).
I will line the entire inside of the room with panda plastic, and i will build the growbox from scratch my self.
So what im wondering is, how big of an exhaust fan would i need to vent out nessecary heat and humidity and keep a flow of fresh air there. (The exhaust will be above the window through ventilation duct to the outside. On the other side of the room there will be intake holes down on the floor.) Keeping in mind im also going use a carbon filter aswell for the smell.
Do I need all the lighting that I have thought of my self, I have no experience with growing, this is my first time ever and I dont really know how much light i need so im just going out on a limb with these thoughts.
I live in norway so we have about 2 months a year where the temps may go upto 30 degrees celsius for maximum 1 week. Its a slow scale up and down from the high point in those 2 months. what im wondering here is, can the exhaust fan get rid of all the extra heat produced by lights during the warmest part of the year. (week 3 or 4 in july). Or will I need to put in a AC to keep it down during that part?
Any ideas you might have on lights, ventilation, temperature or layout of the room. Perhaps I forgot something, please mention
Im a total noob so any advice is gold for me and hopefully I can soon share my grow diary with you guys!
