Indoor three room perpetual grow

So I've been out of the game a while and just getting back in. I converted two closets and a cabinet in my basement into a three stage grow op. I'm basically looking to do 12 plant batches, three batches at a time. Always have 36 plants

Starter cabinet:
2x2' box with 18" x 24" T5 HO 6 or 8 bulb setup(at work right now, can't remember). Figure this should get them from clone into veg.

Stage 2:
4'x4 closet. 600w mh air cooled. Proper ventilation and cooling. I can keep the temp wherever I need it.

Stage 3:
13'x4 closet. 3 600w bps air cooled

Both closets are flat white top to bottom. In addition to cooling and exhaust, I have 16" wall
Mount fans in each(2 in 12' room). Both closets are a full 7'.

My question is, you think I can run with this and harvest 12 plants a month. 1 week to clone, 3 to veg, 8 to flower. I think this means I need one additional closet to keep from having to swap bulbs and such. What do the pros think ? I'm legal and clones and supplies are abundant.

You certainly have the equipment to do it. The thing I've found hardest with a perpetual, is getting the timing down for everything - things don't always grow at the speed you'd like - too fast or too slow can kinda screw things up. But it sounds like you got the space and the equip - just trial and error on the rest.

Yeah, I've been taking too long getting this going. I'm putting the last coat of paint on the big room right now. The 4x4 is already ready to rock. Hopefully getting first 12 clones this week. I'll take some pics. Rooms turned out nice, Hopefully they should.

I plan on going with soil for the time being. Excited to get this show on the road. The timing thing, I'll adjust as I go.
