Design room help!?

I have a closet in my home and want to make the best use of the space. I was thinking a vertical grow would be best but I am open to any suggestions!

The room is 5'2 x 5'2 x 6'5

Lights will be hps either 2 600 watt or 1 1500 watt.
I have done a lot of great soil growing an a little mediocre hydro, but this time I can afford proper equipment. I also am a good craftsman but mediocre designer.

There is a 6' 5" normal door that will be modified for air flow an ducting. With the door I think this will be 3 sided & soil or hydro regardless I will put a stand with potted plants that can be easily moved in front of the door for the 4th side aka maximum use of lite.

Planning now building in late December early January, start growing when finished and will do a grow journal (finally)!

I have other grows going right now and will be using 1 or all of these 3 strains that I like for different reasons. PPP, jock horror, strawberry cough.

Open to suggestions on doing or changing anything from lights, grow style, strains, or whatever but I think I'm on the right path for this project :!:

How high is the ceiling in your closet?
and
What are your dimensions?

For hydro, I like the idea of a large Rubbermaid resevoir, with 2 air pumps. (1 wall outlet, 1 battery powered) 2 water pumps (1 of ea electric/battery) Use the dimensions of your room to decide how long your PVC pipes can be. I would set up 2 NFT systems and put the resevoirs on opposite sides of the closet an have the grow sites facing each other.

If you have a low ceiling and no depth to your closet, put a 1000w in there, cool it, and maybe put it on a mover. but the lower your ceiling, the lower wattage you should use. like I have a closet that is 7x2x7 and I would not put anything more than 1000w in there total. I would rather have 2 400w, than one 1500w or one 1000w.

It's 6'5 high actually 6'7 but I'm leaving working room and it's 5'2" x 5'2" square. I can run a couple of my 1000s cuz I have fresco sol with the water tank right outside and a portable ac unit if necessary but I think I can use 2 600 an have a few good squirrel fans from Dayton.

I like your idea but I'm wondering how many plants that would be, I could put 18 to 30 plants in soil on the floor in 2gal pots depending on method sog, scrooge lollipop ect. , and i could put 4 across 3 levels high on 3 walls including what I could stuff by the door to equal 42 maybe a couple more.

So putting 30 on the floor is lollipop with almost no veg. 42 on tha wall would be grown with a week veg and normal grow maybe a screen to tie off on as they lean to the light and gain some weight.

Wondering how this converts to hydro?

Via vio can your system be done vert style?

Again trying to get the best use out of the space!
 
Man all i got to say is buy this full kit from this guy on ebay he send everything to your door and really good prices my buddy bought a 6 plant from this guy and harvested 15 oz in 3 1/2 mo look up grow room $550 hydro $650.

I go from cutting basically straight to flowering so 3 1/2 months is a bit long plus my light an fans cost more than $550 by themselves and I don't need a closet I bought this house cuz it has one.
