Plans for my First Grow Room

I'm planning on turning my closet into a grow room. It's kinda small, but I'm not trying for a big harvest. I really want to try a perpetual harvest and would like to use StinkBud's aeroponic veg and flower set up (although if you tell me it won't work I can switch)

The room at the moment is a 2'1" x 6'3" sliding door closet. I'll need to build a wall where the doors are and am planning on putting a wall inside to separate 1/3 of the room for vegging and the remaining 2/3 for flowering (unless this sounds like it won't work, if so please tell me). I will attach an extremely poor diagram I made in Paint. I think that all the math is right, but I was a little baked when I did it. I converted all the figured to metric as well.

I'm really only looking to harvest a QP every 3 weeks so would I need to harvest about 4 plants each time?(assuming I would still be able to harvest that often with my restrictions compared to StinkBud's original set up). I also need to scale down StinkBuds to fit if it's even possible. Would a 600W light be able to handle this?

In the veg room I plan on replicating StinkBud's exact set up. The only thing that might change is the number of plants and therefore the lighting.

My biggest problem I think is climate control. This room would be very easy to vent out into the attic, and I suppose I would vent in from my room (I still don't have a complete grasp on venting. Do I need to vent into and out of?). How can I control the temperature? We have central air and usually have the thermostat set 70-80 so the air coming in from my room would be the same or warmer, how would this effect both the veg and flower rooms? A dehumidifer is a possibility if yall would reccomend it.

A couple other questions/problems I can think of real quick...is ciggarette smoke harmful to the growing/flowering process? Will light coming from my room enter in through fans and fudge things up?

A sincere thank you goes out to anyone who replies.

I welcome any and all suggestions or critiques.

Don't let cigarette smoke in your grow room! Imagine if someone came and covered your whole body with tar! Every inch. And taped your mouth and nose shut too. Would you still be alive?

And yes....Vent in AND out. Get rid of the old air and bring new air in.

I think I might be able to vent in from outside if I run some duct through my attic. Would I need filters for this? Or would venting in from outside be a bad idea?

I just saw portable air conditioners. I'm assuming that these would work perfect, especially in such small spaces?

I think this could really work since I saw those portable air conditioners. Something I haven't really thought about is doors and access to the grow area. The veg area would be fine with a regular door opening into it. The flowering area would be pretty tricky. This is your regular sliding door closet if you can imagine it. I'm pretty sure that they sell extra wide doors, and I think that would be the best solution.

Do doors pose any problems in my situation?

I think I've come up with a better idea. Turn my entire closet into a grow room for my first harvest. After that harvest(or maybe a couple...depends on how it went really) I can build a separate grow box for vegging and mothers (until I get a hang of cloning from veg plants). With a grow box I can use my closet strictly for flowering. I plan on only having one aero system going similar to StinkBuds and I plan on having 12-16 plants in the system separated in 3-4 growing groups (when I start PERP). I'm thinking that I will need at least one more smaller set up for the plants I'm about to harvest so that I am able to flush right? Also, do I need a different system for each group so that they all can have different ammounts of nutes?
