Maximizing potential of a small grow room

Hi RIO people,
Just about to harvest my grow. I've got 12 autos in 1 gallon pots in my grow room atm and tbh I'l be happy to get 4z. Just thinking about my next grow and wondering how I can make the most of the space I got.

The dimensions are
H - 41"
W - 47"
L - 52"

Really dunno what's best for this space, it's real small and height is clearly very limited plus the side of the grow room is pretty much a 45 degree angle so higher u go the less space there is as can be seen in the photo.
What I'm thinking atm is don't bother with auto's but instead get two normal indica (think 2 would be enough) in a single pot dwc set up and LST the plants so they pretty much stay horizontal and form almost a scrog. Appreciate any advice on what u guys think is best. Ps getting in and out of grow room is a real pain in the ass so that is a consideration.

LST them early on. Start in small containers and xplant into larger containers every 2 weeks or so until they are about half the size you want the finished plant to be. Give them lots of light. Top taller shoots to even out canopy... 2 weeks into flowering remove weak lower branches and stuff that is not receiving much or any light.

Give them lots of light in veg too to prepare them for intense light as well as to improve growth rate, growth patterns.

If your growing autos again don't top or pot up you need to start them straight in the 1gallon pots they yeild best that way..scarecrow77

Cheers for the replies guys, y'all think two plants in Dwc pots would be fine to lst? I'm big noob on hydro and growing in general so sorry if I'm asking stupid questions

You might try milk crates, they hold about 7 gallons of dirt and lower profile = taller plants, lower to the floor. I run in dirt so i have no experience in hydro.

Grow 12/12 from seed. Keeps 'em small and maximizes your area plus you can have a perpetual harvest by timing your planting/chopping accordingly.
