Room Setup

Here is the setup:
Homebox L (3'x3'x6'): For space / cost / security reasons, I decided to go with a Homebox. Had no issues with it last round. I've heard some complaints about the material, the zippers, the light leaks - didn't notice any of this. Takes about 15 minutes to put together/take apart, easy to clean, very sturdy.
400W HPS/MH: Using a cooltube setup that brings the lights inline with the exhaust, cooling lights and exhausting room with same fan.
Fantech FR150: 243 cfm, 6" duct, high quality, got a great discount on ebay.
Carbon Filter: 6"x12" can filter, refillable, works like a charm.
12 CFL Bulbs (6 blue/white + 6 red): Used for seedlings and then side lighting for adults.
Last round with the Maple Leaf I went all organic, start to finish, no clones. Used Ocean Forrest soil and Big Bloom, nothing else but love and some ph'd water. The plants were slightly undersized, minus one lovely long lady, but no health issues. Didn't do any pruning.
This round with the Super Skunk I'm hoping to still keep it simple, Ocean Forrest (will throw some Grow Big in this time), Big Bloom, and lovin'. The big difference will be the cloning setup and I pruning. Going to attempt the cloning process, see how things turn out, but still need to establish some sort of cloning/veg chamber as there won't be room for this in the tent. My thoughts are that I will take clones from all vegging plants, put those clones in the cloning chamber under some floros, grow the main plants out, discarding males and corresponding male clones, then after harvest select the which cuttings to use, saving one to do a bonsai mom situation (space issues.) Thoughts on this are appreciated.
No big expectations but to enjoy the experience, learn what I can, and stay vigilant about documentation. Oh yeah, and smoke some homegrown.
I'll write the last idea down so I don't forget.
Here are some pics of the grow setup that is from this completely fictional grow...
