DESPERATE HELP NEEDED!! Stelth Grow box

Alright y'all, because of a few lifestyle changes, I need to now take down my now 4'×4'×7' flower tent, and my 3×3×6 veg tent and build a single stelth grow box for both flower and veg no more than 46"×34"×60". I have so many questions, #1 how do you fit both a veg and flower area in that size? Even if I had just one plant in each, how do you fit a fully flowering plant in a 2ftx1.5x area? Training techniques for this size grow area? #2 how do you keep the lights from shining through while also getting good air flow? Any help is appreciated here guys! Thank you so much!!!

I built a 4 in 1 big box...1 for clones/veg, 1 for veg and 2 for flowering...all in one. (8'x2'x7' each box is 4'x2'x40 inches)
Every 35 days the plants get switched to the next box...perpetual grow with an up to 70 day max for flower cycle.
Each box is cut off from the others (top divider not in pic) and can set lights and timers separately.
Pic is from awhile back when I was building and painting, but it may give you an idea.

Dude HOW!!?? That's insane man you did an amazing job!! But HOW do you flower a plant in such a small space!?? I do mainly photo but this is a pic of an AUTOflower I have right now that is still taking up most of my 4'×4', my photos are much larger so I just cant wrap my head around the logistics lol. And what kind of medium are you in? I'm in 5g DWC buckets but I think I'll try to switch to a lower height rez. Do you have enough room for decent root growth?

You could switch to autos and start one every five weeks. As one's finishing the other has plenty of room to grow. I do this in a 2x2 with no issues.
Edit: Just saw that you're running a DWC set up. Not sure if this will work for you then.

I built wired scrog nets that are held up by the plants and don't need to be tied to the pot or anything. It helps to limit the height...usually about 10-12" in height and when strong enough I take out the temp legs you see in the pic.

And when it flowers...about week 4 or 5 I think...no more legs.

I use an under the bed tote (66 liters) and put pumps and everything inside...no holes/leaks...7" in height for +7 gal per plant basically....I do 2 plants at a time...every 35 days or so.


I'm still working on it...or building as I go, but it does work.
