Flowering room set up

Hey all,
I'm on my 10th grow, and have decided to step it up a bit. I'm now doing 2 rooms and am going to set up my flowering room but am trying something different. I want to try to run it in a room size 7'10 by 7'10.

I have access to as many clones as I need, and I'm thinking about running 4-6 HPS lights in the room, with a 10in exhaust fan pulling air from filter to cool tube and pushing air out of the room. I've only used LED previously. My first question is, will a 10in exhaust be able to pull enough air out to keep the smell down?

Second part of the question. I'm torn on using tubs and making my own aero system (done it before) or setting up multiple tables and using a DTW system using coco and drippers. Are these methods viable or what method would you suggest as I've experimented with a few different methods. I'm trying to keep harvests quick and also I don't want to grow trees as I made that mistake once and when a rental
Inspection comes it's very very hard to hide trees anywhere.

With a roughly 64sq ft space, what would you recommend as far as HPS lighting goes, and what method would maximise yields without growing large trees?

Thanks for any advice. Also, the strain is Big Bud.

I run an 8 by 8 flower room with 3000 watts of HPS.I do prefer trees though hence the 3 1K vertizontals.You really do want 50 watts a sq. ft to flower with in a room that size,IMO any less is underpowering although would work just fine of course,and maybe if you're having too much heat and flowering smallish plants,less wattage may be the way to go for you.Maybe 4 600 waters would be good for you,five would bring it right up to 50W sq ft but that parameter is not set in stone,its just used for maximum benefit I believe.I've never done hydro and use a sealed room with co2 so I couldn't be much help to you there,Good luck bro I see cool things happening in your future!!!
