if im honest bubbleguppie i would buy a roof qube and wrap it in loft insulation, £20 for a roll that will do the tent, stable temps from here on, enviro stable+great crops

it will also focus your light on what is important instead of letting it light up the loft

I'd recommend using kingspan or celotex to line the walls & ceiling & possibly on the floor to keep the plants roots warm, i'd also consider getting a few trays up there too, dont fancy spilling a bucket of water up there 

 

you also need to get new pots

@freshstart something along these lines im guessing https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hydroponics-Premium-Loft-Attic-Grow-Tent-600D-Mylar-Indoor-Roof-Cube-Dark-Room/262294753988?epid=1257034543&hash=item3d11fc52c4:m:mMDcpzKg0u4v4AeZhDGHmiQ

Yeah man that's what I used to have, it will keep your light contained in a smaller area as well so you won't be losing lumens around your plants. A 20 quid roll of 100mm insulation to wrap it in would stabilise temps a bit or go with what joint jogger said and get celotex to build a room with, that stuff is the business but a little more expensive
