I'm planning on growing maybe 6 different strains from seed in a 6x6 area...how should I go about doing this with such limited area?
Also I'm thinking I can grow between 18-36 plants in 6x6 area, right?

i'd say about 24 plants my rule of thumb is 16 plants in every 4x4 area.
if your not a pro and don't have money or construction skills for a fan systen i go with maybe 8 at most just keep it going with clones. heres why. have you ever had that really good weed say an ounce that you could smell through the bag it was so strong. okay now dump 36 of those ounce out smell that. okay now thats really strong.now times that by 10 put it in a 6x6 room and imagine that. cause thats what you'll have about 2 pounds of dank marijuana floating around for about 8 weeks dont open you windows chances are your neighbors or the cops wont like it as much. i usually start with 10 seeds. end up with 8 little babies 2 usually die for reason.3 will leave me with males so there almost worthless so all to gether im left with 3 females if the odds work out. just tring to keep ya out of jail and i know the fact of nature suck i wish every plant i grow would go all the way and be all female.

yea I see where your coming from...however I'll be using a carbon filter...here look at it, will this do the job? I'll be using it only in the bud tent: 6x6x6 ....This will be a garage op...I will do three strains the first time...3 x 10 seeds is 30 plants...I will add more strains as there is more room the first germination should give me about 9 female plants...i will keep them in veg room for a while... another 2 strains is 2 x 10 seeds 20 plants 6 will be females and they will stay in veg for a while now i have a total of 15 plants I will add 2 more strains a total of 6 more plants thats 21 plants 7 strains x 3 female plants is 21 total plants while in veg i will keep taking cuttings for a 72 cell prop tray with heat mat, rooting gel all the good stuff and will take 10 clone of each 7 strains marking them with straws to keep record of which is which and once those 35 clons have rooted (I'm assuming 35 because some say half will die, but I am fairly confident with all the research that I've done that there is going to be a 95% succes rate if not hundred...) but I only need 35 and that's my max capicity... maybe I'll start selling extra clones to someone...so 35 clones have rooted and are ready to be put in vege room...now it's time to put those mother's in bud room...and from there on i will keep taking cuttings from the clones in veg stage and have a perpetual cycle....

will this filter work in my bud room? I assume taht i only need it in bud room because that's when they start to really smell....

6.5' fan should work just make sure your intake is twice as big and you have a fan circulating the room.

So if you already had it all figured oout why did you ask the question??

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him think.

cause I respect other's opinions and sometimes talking about something is way different than doing it...perhaps you're not old enough to know this but I've never grown...This is all pictured in my head....

“When you smoke the herb, it reveals you to yourself.”

If you haven't grown a thing then why do you feel qualified to start an EXPERT competition. One thing you may want to keep in mind. 7 different varieties may grow to several different heights. Trust me on this one I can show you pictures. I had one plant in my first grow that never got over 4-1/2' tall. And had 4 others that I had to bend over because they where going to hit my 10' high ceiling. Its a long story and I know you don't want to hear it soo....

then there's feeding issues. each strain is gonna react a little different. i've got 23 plants, 9 different strains, in a 3x3. i am very busy. and i've done this for years. some want a little nitrogen, some want a lot.................
