Help design my Sealed Grow in 11x11 - Sketchup Included

I am in the planning process of my upcoming grow. I would like some input and recommendations from some more experienced growers when it comes to designing custom rooms.

The room that I have decided to grow in has the dimensions of 11x11x9, and it has 2 windows. I plan on building a makeshift room / tent within the room out of 2x2's and pandafilm. Below is a basic rundown of what I plan on including.

Flower Room at least 5x10
-- Either 2 - 1000w HPS or 3-4 600w HPS
-- Closed circuit ventilation
-- 15,000 BTU AC within room
-- Co2
-- Undercurrent System (Not for sure yet, open to recommendations)
Veg room between 3x5 and 5x5
-- 600w MH
-- Tied in with Flower closed circuit ducting
Drying room around 2x4 - 3x5

Attached I have included a sketchup design of what I have planned so far.




If anyone with a little more experience at designing grow rooms could throw me some pointers. What I'd i'm trying to figure out is:
- The best size layout for each of the 3 rooms I plan on included so that they all fit in the 11x11 room

- How to setup the veg room so that it takes the cool A/C from the flower room ( some sort of venting on a thermostat? )

- Recommendations on lights (2x 1000w or 3-4x 600w)

- How I would go about doing a vertical grow in this setup

- I've purchased about 30 different strains of seed from attitude, and would like a hydro system that I could easily run different strains through on a perpetual harvest. Any recommendations on that?

Thanks all for any input!

A few things: that ducting work is horrible. Avoid as many bends as possible. Go straight, don't take curves. I would suggest 2 -1000 rather than 4 600. Also, with the under current, make sure there is a tray under the system to catch the entire systems water incase there is a leak.

as guy above has said plus that fan for the lights isnt big enough. split the rooms up fan for flowering room light an fan for the veg room light.

an try take as many bends out as you can.

i have 2 rows of two lights with a CFM of 1500 on each room. as if u dont your air con with be working over time.
