medical grow indoors hydro questions

Hello everyone! I am going to be starting my first legal medical grow within the next month and am very excited! I have been lurking on these boards for years and have had 10 succesful indoor grows and countless outdoor/greenhouse grows, vastly due to the knowledge available here and other forums just like it. Now I would like to do my part in spreading knowledge while continuing to learn by creating a grow log with the combined knowledge of this board. I would love any and all advice on how to maximize this grow. before we get started just one big thanks to everyone who participates in this grow log.

Goals:

• Produce 10 to 15 lbs of fine sensimilla every 4-8 weeks (seems like alot I know and may ot be possible but I intend to turn alot of product into concentrates and edibles)
• Stay within legal limits of licence (see parameters below)
• Work within current available space

Parameters:

• 30 plants in flower max (licence restriction will not grow more)
• Obviously will have to be a perpetual grow of some sort
• Diameters of available space Basement: 26'L X 18'W X 7'6"H + Bedroom: 12'L X 14'W X 8'H (I have more Space available but do not think it will be needed)
• Strains: White Widow, Sour D and Blueberry are what i would like to grow but this is open for suggestions as is everything else.
• Money isnt everything but i would like to keep the cost of the grow room under $10k closer to $5k would be nice.
• smell is not an issue (I am legal bitch)

Equipment already on hand:

• 1000w Hps/MH vented xxxxl reflector
• 400w flouro 6 tube grow light
• 2 1000w MH with open reflectors (may not use these as they are outdated ballast)
• 500cfm inline fan
• 36 plot cloner
• ducting
• mylar
• ph testers, water pumps ect..

Now here come the choices I have to make

• Hydro or soil? (I know I know .... newb question go hydro or go home but you never know i have had some good luck with soil). eventually this whole setup will be converted to a aquaponics system when i grow the balls)
• If hydro it is then what system is suggested i am a builder and have much experince so will be fabricating my own system question is what would be the best setup for what i am looking for?
• Scrog seems to be the best option for my expectations but if anyone else can give me a better idea I am open
• Room layout is my biggest hurdle and where I really need the help i can divin the spaces any way i please and have a seperate area i can house mommy plants and here children so the space givin above is for veg and bloom only
• 600w or 1000w ( Always had the go big or go home attitude but if the extra wattage is not going to make up for the price to run 1000w then I will conceed to the 600w

Well let the fun begin looking foward to all your wisdoms and things

I think your trying to work out too many questions at once.

Try to gauge what you think your gpw are going to be. I don't care for the whole gpw thing, but how much weight you can get in a normal flowering cycle under a 1k with larger plants. Then extrapolate that data to fit in your needs.

Then figure out your cooling, think multiple mini-splits.

Its going to cost more than 10k.

Then you can work out small questions like how long it will take to harvest, and flip from veg to flower.

I wouldn't go this big in a house I live in for multiple reasons though.

I'm $3Gs+ into a 8x12x7 room that's not even half of what your planning. Put that $10G aside, your going to need every penny. Your going to need way more light to get 10lbs+ every month, even every other month. I guessing a minimum of 6000w, just for flower.

Go hydro, I don,t see you hitting your goals any other way.

With a 30 plant limit in flower, I'd do something like 3 rdwc systems with 10 plant sites each , one for week 1-3 one for week 4-7 one for the final 2-3 weeks and rotate 10 plants through every 3 weeks. Take 12 clones(2 extra just incase), 1 week to root, 2 weeks in veg, then into flower, you could go 5weeks in veg if you plan your cycle for bigger plants. If that doesn't get you 5lbs every month..well idk what to say.
