10k budget for 11x12 room

So I have a spare bedroom sitting there not being used which is just unacceptable lol. The bedroom is 14 feet long and 12 feet wide. I plan on putting up a wall to make it 11x12. I have roughly 10k I would like to spend on this total from the ac down to the wiring. So my question to you guys is how would you set this up? I'm going for a decent yield every 3 months is my goal. Thanks in advance

I've not been around here long but i'm starting to get used to seeing these kinds of blank questions.

I've just dropped a wild bunch of money on a grow space and it continues to cost me solid paper as I refine its function and purpose. I knew exactly what I wanted to do from the start, and I worked backwards from those goals to figure out what needed to be done to get there. I started with a budget, broke it down into phases and determined what I could afford to do.

My advice would be to do the same because right now your query is so open-ended as to be a little silly, if you don't mind me saying. Only you can answer much of this stuff, based on your resources, your situation and those specific restrictions which go way beyond room dimensions. What do you have to work with? What do you want to produce? How will you do it? There's 100 ways to skin a cat, and that is no more true than in the grow game.

As an example, $10k won't go far if you want to do sealed room perp harvest with 3-ton AC, cob lighting, top dehu and the best of all the rest. All before you've got the right genetics, dialed stuff in and paid a few chunky power bills.

You have my enthusiasm 100%, heck everyone should have a spare room for growing, just know what you want to do before blowing a chunk on someone else's preferences.

Good luck!

Thank you for your reply ruwtz. I realize I should have been a lot more specific in the original post. So here's what I have planned up so far. I want to have 6 of the gavita flexs in there, 3 on either side and a small walkway down the middle. Im intrigued with the thought of running a hydro system but soil is what i know do thats most likely what i will stick with. Ive gotten good results with 1 plant per sq foot, topping, and a 2 week veg. I already have some equipment left over from another spot like a light controller, reservoirs, large roll of orca film, 12 inch vortex, 10 inch max fan. I guess my biggest question right now is do I go all out and do a cge? Or keep it simple and just set up an unsealed room?

Man you could set that space up to harvest a fair bit monthly, if you do multiple stages. It depends what you want, final yield-wise.
