Looking to build a much larger Flowering room. Doing research / pricing out upgrades. I am going to be making a 7' x 10' but it will have 2 sections that are 4'x7' so I have 2' in middle to move around / Create a constant flowering cycle. e.g. harvesting one section every 40 days.
attached a picture of potential room.
Question 1;
I am going to be running either 6 600W HPS 3 over each growing section or 4 1000Ws 2 over each growing section. to hit the 9-10k lumens per sq ft.
Now to control heat.
I currently already own a 6 " vortex fan aprox 449 CFM on a 6" air cool tube for my 1000W. It is doing a wonderful job of keeping room 74-78 Degrees and keeping the smell down. It is attached to a 6" scrubber.
What I am wondering, Is if I connect all 6 lights together with ducting, Could it manage my heat levels. or will i have to upgrade to a much bigger fan. with possible an AC or air cooler.
I know that CFM is LxWxH so the CFM needed for my 7x10x7 is 490 cfm, My current vortex fan is rated for 449cfm
Currently running a 4" passive air intake from outside with 2 osculating fans.
Or do you have any suggestions on how I can manage the heat for my future upgrades.
Looking to yeild 3.5 pounds every 80 days. per section Ideal goal.
Question 2;
My goal is to build a SCROG with 2-6 Plants per section(4x7). Number of plants depending on how well I can top / bend them.
Going to build a DIY aeroponic setup. Should I use a couple Big totes, Or should I use single giant buckets 50g per plant?
What I think, Is that giant buckets will be better per plant. But, will cost more due to needing a seperate pump /timer per bucket. So in theory to keep costs down, I'll need to use a big tote and put 2-3 plants per tote. running 2 pumps per section instead of 2-6 pumps per section.
I figure I can spend 1-3 hours in maintenance a day if needed. So that shouldn't be a problem.
Question 3;
My new room will be 7' tall, How tall should I Grow my plants/ how far up should I put my Scrog?
I figure lights hover around 6' off ground(at end of flower). plants should be at least 2.5' tall going in to flower, 8" tall pots. Screen should be aprox 3.5' off
looking for feedback, or new / better ideas. Thanks.

p.s. I own my house, so modifications for better ideas are definitely possible.
