Help with 1 month perpetual grow.

Hello all, first off just want to say thanks to everyone here that helps out so much your amazing. Ok so I want to set up a 1 month perpetual grow. To be more specific I would like to harvest 2-3 plants every month. Now I'm aware of having to have at least 2 rooms to do this and that I have to cycle out the plants at certain intervals I have a good understanding of how the grow will go. But what I need help with is figuring out the best possible setup for this type of system. I.e. If I should do aero/hydro/soil. I plan to have the veg room 6x6 to keep the mothers clones and vegging plants in and a 8x8 for the flower room. I plan on having 2 600w mh in the veg along with 1 600w hps. And in the flower room I plan to have 2 hps 600w and 1 mh 600w. Because of how often I'm going to have to move the plants and the fact that different stages of growth call for different ppm and amounts of nutrients I don't know what type of system to use. Could anyone give me their thoughts on this.

Big dwc - a minimum 10 gallon res. If you're set on only doing 2 or 3 plants per month, you have enough room to veg for 2 months and make monsters with the lighting and space you have.

Yeah, I do 2-3 per month using just one 3x3ft space, only Autos, soil, and a 400w HPS plus 6x2ft T5 and several Crees for side lighting. You have a TON of space and lighting unless you want to make trees, but it seems easier to do a greater number of smaller plants than fewer giant ones. Also, for energy savings and heat reduction, maybe consider getting some Area 51 or Hans panels instead of all the MH and HPS. Maybe one MH in veg and one HPS in flower with Area51 rigs on each side?
I've only ever done soil, so can't really help on anything else. Organic Soil plus using grow bags, smart pots, or air pots make transplants easy and nutrients simple since you can just go water only or maybe teas once you have a good soil base ready for use.
It really comes down to your goals in terms of production levels and quality. Since it doesn't seem like huge production numbers are a priority, I'd do whatever setup is going to produce quality results with the right amount of effort required for you.
