2ft deep 4' to 8' long grow space help

I have a space can be 2ft to 8ft long and up to 8ft hight but only 2 feet deep. Right now i have 2 steathscrogs from 2ft tubs but i would like something more secure and stable. Only using cfls for the scrogs but i can pick up better lighting.

1. what would be the best setup for a grow space like that, using tall space for taller plants or a multilvl scrog.
2. wat would be the best lighting be for a space like that.
Any advice i have 6 sprouts going now.

well id separate it into 2 diffrent rooms so i coud have a perpetual setup

id flower with a 400 and either keep veggin wiht the cfl's or maybe upgrade to a 150 watt or 250 watt metal halide..

id use a 2x3 or 2x4 area for the 400 to flower and then 2x2 to veg out clones and new seedlings

would a 400 HPS be to much for the space... id have to have alot of air flow with it to keep it cool.

I would run a 400w in 2x3x4, just 1 or 2 plants on top of a 2x3x4 space for veg and harvest a few oz every 8 weeks. watch your hight train the shit out of them in either scrog or mainline or lst 2 month veg

A pair of 250 cmh in narrow reflectors eould be nice and not too hot. T5 ho would work. Pll fluoro tubes would also work nicely if you wanna go diy. Finally. Led, prolly an apollo 10 or so with the 90 or 60 degree lenses from cidly

seedling box on top left with 4 5kcfl plus 1 3500 cfl in 2x3x3 area

growth box with same light set up or a metal halide but box hight be higher ( thought with cfl i could train them to scrog better by a little more strech then with MH light)

Finish growth/start flower box 2x3 then 5ft high and run a 250w MH to finish growth and switch to 250W HPS to start flowering.

Last phase flowering box 2x3x5 with 250w HPS to finish off plants.

Purple circle would be fresh air in would make air cycle threw bottom boxes and vent in to upper boxes to warm them threw purple lines(mesh vents to block light), then vent out tops of seedling/growth boxes. Put a heater or another fan for winter/hot summer times.


something like that ? could run whole yr long 6 weeks max each phase(i know long growth but i would be topping plants and scrogging)


or maybe flip the top 2 boxes and bottom 2 and leave top open to rafters to give more space for lights to raise and lower. (would 1 400-600w HPS/MH be enought light for both the Flower boxes, thinking 2-3plants per box)

I worry about the tube lights seem so easy to break the CFL seem to be a little tougher, Ive herd mixed results from LED and i know nothing about them. Dont even know where to get them lol, could maybe get a buddy to make a led light for me but dono where to find the bubls even good o'l radio shack dont carry the grow leds from what i asked last time lol. They look bad ass though haha
