Micro grow/constant harvest/scrog idea

So, I have gotten the approval from my better half to start a small hobby op.

I have been throwing around some ideas in my head and thougt I would post up and see if anyone had any comments or suggestions.

Size: going to have to be 2ft by 2ft by 2ft max per chamber, most likely a 1.5ft cube to veg new plants with a 2ft cube for flowering. 2 fully independent chambers.

Lighting: will have to be Cfls due to size restrictions.

airflow: passive intake w an inline duct fan for extraction. Odor control will be a carbon scrubber built to size. A few mounted fans inside for circulation, not sure what though.

Growing medium: hand mixed soil probably equal parts perlite potting mix and some manure or compost, with a wee bit of sand thrown in for good measure.

Will be my first foray in scrog growing so that will be an adventure, my first project in years actually, also I will be watering with a wick system. Not sure how I will get that to work with scrog since all I can think of is to put the resivoirs under the plants to save space.

I feel like I'm forgetting something but I'm sure someone will point Out what

you might want to make your flowering chambers higher....you have to remember the lights take up a couple inches, the pots take up at least 12''....that leaves you only 14 inches of growth MAX. and perpetual grows IMO are not very scrog friendly, because you have to be putting new plants in/ harvesting every week or two, it involves alot of fuckin around.
your better off to LST for a peretual... i woudlnt worry about setting up a wick system for watering, just hand water if you can to get the feel of it for the first couple grows. just my 2cents
goodluck and start a journal when you get up and runnin!
peace
