3 stage grow room idea, let me know what you think!

Well I have been researching growing for quite some time now, and am fairly new (helped a buddy with his a few years ago, that's it). I am going to be moving into a 1br in about two months, and here is my plan. Having a 3 stage grow room, do you think this is practical/efficient? I am planning on buying a place with a small 4x4 to 6x6 storage room, and at least one standard sized closet (i'm guessing 1.5x5 feet ballpark. I was thinking of having stage one inside an old PC, where I can have a couple small CFL's, and will grow from germination to about 6-8 weeks. The closet would be stage 2 with maybe a 400w HID, and that would complete the veg stage for about 6-8 weeks. Then the storage room would be for flowering, and that would be a 600w Sodium light.

Does this seem at all realistic? Can you guys offer me any advice to improve efficiency? Any ideas for ideal spaces (I haven't chosen which place I am going to move to yet, so I dont know what size of a grow room is the best for me)? Is it overkill doing 3 rooms like that, due to all of the extra work (e.g 3 exhaust systems, etc.).Would it possibly be better to put it all in one big room? What do you guys think?

I am intent on doing a 3 stage grow op, and just want the best advice for doing it right. Thanks guys!

I have a 1 bedroom. The bedroom however is very large. I have 2 4x4x6 tents in there and still have lots of space for my bed and dressers and so on. In one tent I run a 400 watt mh 24/7 and I veg and clone in there. In another I flower with a 600 hps on 12 and 12. I exhasut out the window after treating with a charcoal scrubber. I ran ozone and that really fucked up shit I think. Other than that I started in hydro loved it went to soil and loved it and now am doing both.

Thanks for the info bud! That sounds like a little more practical than my idea. So how about getting a 2 BR, and then maybe having 3 grow tents (each progressively larger)? That probably would be WAY less work to set up. If I closed the blinds, would the grow tents shine through the window?

Anyone had any experience growing an an apartment before? Too risky?

Sorry for all of the questions. :)

Lots of people grow in apartments (like me), grow tents are light proof.
Just be careful about sound and use a filter for the smell.
