Within the next year I hope to have a 6' x 5' room available for me to grow.
Entry to this room will be gained through a hidden door unlocked with a remote control that automatically opens and closes the door. Here are the two video's that show what I am speaking about in regards to the remote control...

As I have drawn this is beyond the limits that I would use the room for, but this is what is would be capable of doing.
I have decided to use DWC SOG using LED lighting. I already own two 150 LED Bars (4" x 40"). They are full spectrum, meaning;
50% 660nm deep red
10% 630nm red
10% 600nm orange
10% 3500K warm white
20% 460nm blue
you can check out what they are currently (legally) doing with a link in my sig, back to the room...
The DWC tubs I currently use are in my plans. They are called 10 gallon storage tubs. With 2 - 6 inch net pots they will hold 5 gallons of water and this is the method I currently use with veggies and the method I previously used scrogging...
However, in SOG and using the 4 plants per sq ft plan I will use 2 or 3 inch net pots with 8 plants per tub. 3 tubs per light, meaning 24 plants under one LED bar. And if each plant can just produce 7 grams dry that would total up to 168 grams or 6 ozs... over 1 gram a watt. I think it's very possible
Also in the room I would need a clone and mother area under an LED bar or flouro's. This area would need to be framed out and basically turned into a cabinet, with doors. Or much easier, I could use a large piece of black pleather with velcro to attach it to a frame. This way it would prevent light leaks but could be completely removed when working with those plants. The reason I mention this is I have a friend who used to use this method, as his veg and flowering were in the same room.
I would also want a breeding cabinet or framed, velcro'd, black pleather area.
In the sketch up it's drawn with a mother/clone area, a breed area and the two lower areas for growing smoke. if you wanted to eliminate the breeding area, you could theoretically harvest 168 grms every 20 days, or over 1 lb every 60 days !!!!
so with a 4' x 5' footprint as i have drawn i think this setup could yield almost 7 lbs a year. HOWEVER, keep in mind you would be above the federally mandated number of 100 plants. This is a risk I do not want.
And since I can only smoke about 1 oz a month, I will not need more than 24 plants for smoke, 24 clones, 6-8 mums and 1-24 plants breeding. At the very most with everything in full operation; almost harvest, clones, mums and 24 in breeding, I would have at most 80 plants. More than likely most of the time I should have not more than 30-40 plants at a time... In my state the issue is weight anyways...
For odor and ventilation I plan on exhausting into a boxed area where the air will be treated with ozone before passing across a carbon scrubber and exhausted outdoors. The air conditioning duct in the room will be the passive intake into the sealed, negative pressured room...
Ok, so what do you all think? Suggestions, comments, compliments
