Just try it already. Use ALL the same high yielding clones, veg ROOTED clones 6-8 weeks and see what you come back with.

Any problems (you probably will have issues especially if your a first time rdwc/dwc) but it will be a lesson learned, might take a run or two to dial it down.

what is ur plan on cooling room, looks like ur gonna need a 1.5-2 ton a/c to start. dont see area for Filters/Fans/D-Huwy in ur drawings. IMO the 400 are better replaced with 600W, 400's aint gonna give u the growing power ur gonna need.

You should consider LED lights. Now, I'm not talkin the chinese made purple light junk. I mean the build your own Cree CXB3590 COB lights. You can then build what you need, both size and spectrum. You will save in electricity for the lights and a lot in airconditioning as they put out a lot less heat. With the right amount of PPFD, LED's will out perform HID's. With your goals you need all the help you can get.

Good luck, and keep us posted on your success!

I think you're suffering from a small perception defect, one that I see a lot lately. The idea that a thread belongs to the OP is something I only see on cannabis fora. I understand if it is a grow journal. But you're asking for advice, so you're literally asking other people to fill in the content. The site owner owns your thread, not you. Off-topic is one thing, but when you ask for the thoughts of the internet you're going to hear something you don't like, almost without exception. There is value hidden in some of the things that might upset you initially. Don't throw all the babies out with the bath. Just the ugly ones.

50 clones, 5k watts= 7kg

http://www.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/marijuana-grow-journal-casey-jones-7-kg-harvest/

Have copied this room and achieved similar results. Below is not that room. Another

The other thing I've been doing is growing 2 plants in 100L tubs with coco, and training them under netting/mesh from one end of the grow room to the other 6m long X 1.5 wide. At each 1m i had a 600w hps. I vegetated/ trained for 7 weeks using calcium nitrate $20 per 25kg bag , teaspoon will give you a CF of 16 per 15L water, so it goes along way. Once all the gaps had been filled and i had a near perfect sea of green from two plants I flushed the 100L containers till i had the same reading as water flush going in, coming out.As i wanted to remove the nitrogeon prior to flowering. At this point I went from 18 hrs to 36 hr darkness , then 12 hour light cycle. And changed to fert to a yara kristalon red then yellow types, $80 per bag will last about 2 yrs using 1000L tanks. (example of how far product goes).Was also using fulvic acid, humic acid and bat guano. Flowering time was almost 8 weeks. And the yield was 9.4 lb of pure beautiful bud with fuck all manicuring. :) If the cops came around I only had two plants. :)

lol this thread is hilarious! a guy wanting massive yeilds off of minimal plant numbers. But doesn't want to do any research or designing himself. a grow like this takes lots of careful planning and preparation dude. not to mention experience
Absolutely, And alot of capital outlay. Lights, climate control, pumps, filters, timers, and it just goes on.
 
Haha, I like this thread :) The OP did start with little context and pretty lofty target yields, but dude has shown himself to be doin work.

I consider myself safely established into the "novice" grow-tier, running dwc LED scrog, so take that for what it's worth as I don't do vert, but looking at joeyfatbud's layout diagrams, you might want to consider rotating the out-side group of lights out of the corners to increase your light overlap.
