6-plant legal limit in 6x6 space. What is my best bet?

I have a 6x6x7 room to grow in and im not sure how my "system" should work. I was originally set on going perpetual by having a flower and veg room. And I was also set on going SCROG. But as I do my research i realize moving a plant from veg to flower room trying to scrog doesn't go hand in hand obviously. So now i kinda feel like im back at square one as far as deciding what setup I will be using. Should I do perpetual and do a veg room? If so, do I do something like grow 4 big trees while two are in veg or something? should i do a certain training method like manifolding/mainlining? What would be my best bet as far as trying to yield as much as possible, hopefully in as little time as possible?

What ive definitely decided so far:
  • I will be asking for DIY COB LED recommendations (i am a certified electrician but not sure how many watts you guys will suggest depending on setup and which COBs i should choose)
  • hydro.. Leaning toward coco DTW with blumats (may consider DWC if it definitely will suit my setup better)
Here are photos of the grow room ive built so far:

any tips on any aspect for a noob will be HIGHLY appreciated! Thanks in advance.

You can get pre made nets that fit into a pot and do a modular scrog so you can still move each plant about. Although I would probably lean toward doing free growing plants topped to create bushes rather than trees. Stake them and splay them out so each plant fills a 1.5x2.5 foot space.

I did see your other post, you have 6x6 so divide it into a 4x6 flower room and a 2x6 veg. 2 plants vegged for about 4/5 weeks, 2 plants flowering stage 1, 2 plants in stage 2 of flower, when one lot is finished and cut take your vegged plants into flower room and replace them with new ones.

If you can do it go with DWC you will get faster growth so bigger plants in your veg time = better yields in your flower.
I clone but I'm guessing you wont be able to if your only allowed 6 plants total. So I guess you can buy clones from a dispensary, that would be quicker than growing from seed every time.

You will probably tweak your system as you learn and your yields will increase after a few runs.

Here also 6 is the legal limit, 3 of which can be in flower. There is no limit to size, and 'in flower' applies to males as well. So if I want to stay legal I must put 1 Mother and a cloner together, then the budding girls in the 12/12, keeping count of what's what.

I grow seeds, so that means one girl and boy in a separate area and let them do their thing. That's 2 in flower area 1.
Then Mother, 1 not in flower in area 2
Then 1 girl in flower to finish.
I've reached my flowering plant limit if I'm keeping legal.
I can try to root 2 clones at a time also. But I'm not legal. Not much over but it has to be.

I've never tented but 6x6 is plenty. Is there access from different sides? Consider dividing it diagonally if Corey's suggestion doesn't appeal.

Yield is bigger coco/hydro but I'm a soil man because of the simplicity and minimum time investment. This is an interest, not a hobby where I tinker in my garden all day. That's tinker, not tinkle. Though I've heard plants like that.
