So currently I'm in a closet and doing well and so forth well now that my current grow I basically don't have any more planning so since I'm upgrading to my own place Ill be buying and designing my new grow set up in advance to I have it all by day one of my crib. Means no electricity spikes since this will be the first power bill in my name and house.

So here's the idea.
4x4 gorilla grow tent for veg under 1000w super mh hortilux

8x8 gorilla grow tent for flower under 4 600w super hps hortilux
The goal is to set both of these side by side in my room and connect the ventilation to all run together and only have to use one filter.

Question is what kind of grow would work best to optimize my babies. Reason asking is because I 1. Need to be able to move them from one tent to the other 2. Something efficient so I'm not ordering pounds and pounds of supplies every 2mon.

I was looking into hydro or bubbleponics or dwc but I really like how simple soil is. Currently I'm doing supersoil and I would love to be able to use this but its 1. Very expensive 2. Requires ordering a lot of organic fertilizer 3. Cook times.

So bottom line I need help deciding on which way to grow would yield better/ be able to transport to other tent next door

I was looking into a 24 pot multi flow hydroponic system where all the buckets are attached to a res and a automated nute and water flow on timer. But the question is how veg them in a seperste room from flower? Is 3.5 gal pots big enough for this system since that's all it comes in. Also interested in ebb and flows. Need advice!

Expanded clay pebbles.
Grow in them, clean them, grow in them, clean them, grow in them....
They cost a little more than soils and coco but they last forever.

I veg in a 4 x 4 tent, using a Wilma 20 (x 6.5lt pots)
and Bud in a 8 x 2, using 2 x Wilma Big 9's (2 x 9 x 18lt pots).

2 ROOMS, ON DIFFERENT LIGHTING SCHEDULES being AIR SCRUBBED WITH ONECARBON FILTER....???

Personally I think you'd be much better off using separate fans and filters.
There's just too much happening to control it all with the one fan/filter system.

When your VEG plants need 6 hours dark and your BUD need 12 hours the temperatures will need different fan schedules.

Dark = Cold
Light = Hot

One fan/filter cannot do both at the same time.

Normally a BUD area that is TWICE the size of the VEG area is proportioned about right.

To VEG in a 16 sq ft
then BUD in a 64 sq ft ......

I veg 20, then pick the best 18 to go flower.
You would either have to VEG lots of tiny plants
or
Leave the BUD tent half empty.

You need a smaller BUD tent or a bigger VEG tent.

I'd recommend shrinking the BUD tent
From a closet to 80 sq ft of multi room perpetual grow may be a little bit optimistic.

Thankya i didnt even think of the temps during lights out. But i did figure the 8x8 was a little big but 24 plants in a 8x8 would leave me plenty of options to add more or just throw a 3x3 or 4x4 in the corner ( homemade probably) and use it for mothers. Im just trying to give myself enough room to learn more and new things and not be so fucking cramped and leaning over shit and under shit to trim up and scrog.
