Hello all, I've run into a small issue which I'm in dire need of help!

First I'll explain the room;
I have nice large space that's available to me which is roughly 33' long x 16' wide and has 12' ceilings. There is also an 8x8space empty space behind the main room and in front of the main room on the same side (right outside wall). I'd also like to note that the unit is all block exterior walls but the left hand wall is shared, the right is open to the back of the building.

Second my plan;
I wanted to split the room into two both equal in size and having them both running on 12 hour flower cycles.

Third my main equipment;
4- 10" max fans
2 - can100 filters
2-8" fans
5-6" fans
18- 1000's+ ballasts

Now I'll explain the problem I have; I have nowhere to vent, I originally wanted to intake and exhaust from the sealed rooms through the roof (which is a flat roof). Now I've found I cannot due to condition of the flat roofing material for fear id be opening up a can of worms! Any advice for my current predictament would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm, completely sealed room with a/c vs his plan on using intakes and exhausts...

As for the roof, after inspecting it, it's actually almost 3" of tar and gravel. They've decided to patch over and over the original roof which I'm afraid if I dig out the gravel, and re-tar it I won't have a perfect seal and have a natural automatic shower system lol

As they say, if you want something done right, you need to do it yourself! I wish I'd taken control of this situation earlier. When now I'll have the clones ready by the weekend and need to make decisions swiftly.

set up a titan temp/humidity/co2 module so you arent wasting co2, vent out high on the siding under the roof, depending on your climate I'd just make a register in the siding for an intake on the floor of the opposite side of where you are pushing it out so all the plants get fresh air.

No siding on the building, only concrete blocks, otherwise if that were the case I would definitely done that!

I prefer to be "stealthy". I guess at the end of the day, the solution is right infront of me. I just need to pull the trigger.

I promised the building owner I would be discrete in having this set up!

Quite possibly I'm making the problem larger then it needs to be.

Sometimes you just need the "just f'n do it, n stop whining" talk I suppose. Lol.

I'm out of my element here and don't like flying by the seat of my pants without confirmation.
