How would you use this space.

Hello all,
Hope everyone is having a great Monday morning.

So I have been reading and reading and I think, that I have done too much reading, I have all these ideas on how to grow, from hydroponics to soil, to DWC and I think the fact that I have so many options, it has left me confused on what should I really use. :wall:

So like everyone, I want to maximize my space and my grow to get the most yield as quickly as possible. I have sorted thru countless threads and pictures and haven’t found anything that sticks out saying- yes that is the setup for me!!!

So I’m here to ask everyone, what would you do.
here is my situation

I have 2 grow tents-
1 - 32x32x60
and another
2- 60x60x84

Given this layout- how would you grow.
here is what I’m looking for.

Maximum yield :leaf:- meaning - for the space how to get as many plants in there
fast harvesting- :leaf:1 to 2 months every harvest.
maintenance - the less the better- but I don’t mind working.

I'm open to hydroponics- soil and pots, anything.

use the small tent for veg, large for flower with a 600/100HPS and use S.O.G. (sea of green)method for the fast harvesting/less maintenance etc

lol Thank you Saerimmner,
but i need alittle more specfics then that. example- for Veg in a 32x32x60 tent- what would you use to veg, would you get a ebb table, would you use 6 water farms, or 6 dwc buckets.
ebb i would use maybe cause i can fit more then 6 plants on the tray to veg , but in 6 water farms i can only have 6 plants- 1 plant per farm.
and then with that- lets say i tranfer the 6 plants to the larger tent, with only 6 waterfarms/plants, im only using half that tent.

I would use either a 400 or 600W MH in EACH of the small tents for vegging, and 1000w HPS in the big tent, with possible LED lighting as well. If its your first grow I would definatly go soil because hydro can be difficult and get confusing. Soil is by far the easiest. You could probably fit 25 5gal buckets in the large tent (5x5) and with the 1000w HPS you could easily get a pound

here is my current setup, i know i know- its a great drawing.
right now i have 11 clones in the veg room. now im trying to figure out whats best for them.

option-1
keep all 11 clones in the veg till they are about 20inches, and im able to cut some cuttings for the next batch. Then move all 11 to the SOG table, i would have to make them fit- which i would have to wait 8 weeks for a harvest.

option 2
veg the 11 clones to 20inches, but take only 5 to the SOG table/flowering room. Keep the other 6 in the veg room. Wait 4 weeks and then bring over the rest, this way, i would get a harvest every month.

option 3
out of the 11 clones. take 3 of the best. and make them mothers. Remove the whole ebb system from the flower tent, and replace with pots and soil, which i can probably fit 20 of them. But at the same time- where would i put 20 clones till they are tall enough to be flowered. This i would have to wait 8weeks for flowering plus the 4 weeks about for veging. but it would be a high yield. but 3 month harvest. also another good part to this, i can have 3 different strains for mothers.

option 4
water farm/ dwc
Fill the flowering room with about 12 waterfarms/dwc and in the veg room do the same thing as option 1 execpt increase the clones to fit all the waterfarms/DWC- then get a 4 week harvest.
down side to this, is maintence.

i got really confused with your drawing lol sorry this is wut i would do.... SOIL way easier then hydro (for some)
SMALL TENT: cfl lighting is fine cheaper the MH both purchase and electric bill or may i recommend T5 floro's 2-5 gallon buckets for the mother(s). and of course clones under a dome on a heat pad.
LARGE TENT: 600/1000whps the lights up to you and that will determine how many clones at one time but... let say 9 clones go into flower 1 half of the room for 1 month. after 1 month you move 9 more clones onto the other half. at 2 months you harvest the first batch and move the 2nd batch in its space and add the next batch of 9. so on and so forth hope i helped looks like you got a huge opertunity have fun with it

i will say though, i started in soil then moved to coco in pots and i really wish i had just gone hydro to start with as soil is a lot of hassle and coco isnt massively behind it lol

i wish i could do hydro but every time i see systems it scares me maybe i just havnt found a good system. plus dont you have to always check ppm, ph, temps of the water idk im already confused again
