Hello and welcome to 
NTH.
I thought I would chime in because of our similar rooms. Mine is 5 X 3 I'm sure you will enjoy the extra foot of depth, I do most everything reaching in through the door. I had an old white tarp that I used for my walls it seems to work well.
You can find a couple of pics in my journal that may or may not help... warning don't follow my growing methods though.
I find that the 5' width is only good enough for 3 healthy plants. I did do 4 in there with a different setup (NFT) but with 5gal pots on the floor now 3 fills it up more than enough.
I've 1 CMH 315 in there... ya It's not near wide enough, 2 would be perfect though IMO.

Can’t wait to see your progress. I’m also a new grower. Just started my second grow.
Best of luck!!

Ran into my first hiccup. Upon closer inspection I discovered my barn needs to be treated for termites! Think I’m going to swap my big grow room for a 3x3 tent kit from @Mars Hydro. Thinking that would be just right for my first grow anyways. Should be able to grow two autos in there correct? I will just put it in a closet in my house. Will be easier to control the heat too since it gets pretty damn hot here in the summer.

Sorry it’s a 2x2.

Well, your first hiccup
don't worry 
many more to come ...I've come across everything under the sun 
and I use preventative measures to make sure I'm bug and problem free...I've been growing since '07 though...I have a solution for any larvae egg laying pest, including termites...been using them in my grow room and around my house for a few years now.

You folks think I should go with a 3x3? Two plants at a time should be good for my first grow.

Sorry I haven’t responded sooner to your post MB. Thanks for that tip. I will definitely get some of that for my bigger room.Well, your first hiccup

I use their 3 x 3 and TSW2000 light. It's an awesome rig! Note, it's 40 x 40 inches if that matters. I like that part.
A 3 x 3 will host a good amount NTH. I've grown 2 and 4 plants in mine. The 4 were autos however if flipped at the right time I think 4 in 5 gallon pots will fit. I'm in LOS so 5 looks to be my min size. Someone feeding nutes could go smaller pots like a 3 or 4 but I think 5 would be best.
