Help and advice needed for grow room set up

[Smoothness]

Well guys here's what I came up with after fours months of research and reworking the layout. I have a 6x10 room. I was gonna use two 4x4 spaces to do sea of green. I was gonna use Hempy method using 20 gallon totes. Put 8 plants into the tote in a 2x4 plant format. So I can fit 8 totes in each 4x4 space. Using 3-1 ratio perlite to vermiculite mix. I plant to prune each plant in lollipop donkey dick shapes. I plan to wait one month to veg before I flip. I have a 8 foot ceiling so minus the 2 ft for the light and light spacing and the 1.5 feet off the ground I ha e about 5.5 feet to have the plants stretch to. I will have two 1000k hps lights one over each 4x4 area. Both air cooled and im gonna try to use the window ac unit to blow cool air into the cooltubes to push cool air into the tubes with two inline fans one on each light and pushed outside. Got a big carbon filter. Exhaust air is pushed outside with a duct muffler to silence the sound. No co2 supplement since my budget won't allow it this 1st grow. I plan to use Dynagro grow and bloom. Along with the usual carbo additives like bud candy and sweet. Got reverse osmosis system to get fresh ro water. Cal mag too. And Dynagro protekt. Strains being used are: kandy kush fem, blueberryxwhite widow fem, black domina fem and special kush fem and maybe super lemon haze fem too since I have extra seeds laying around to make a mother out of. The plan is for me to make all those mothers. Veg them under a 1000 watt mh then collect a couple hundred clones and I even got a Ez clone 120 to get clones fast. Oh I'm also gonna use great white to promote massive root growth. So is this a good set up or should I go back to the drawing board? I plan to have 128 plants sog and I hope with the one month veg that I could get around a oz a plant then I'll be happy. I hope the 2000 watt hps would plump up each plant to get donkey dicks on each plant. Of anyone got any tips or constructive feedback then please give me it. Just please dont flame me or ask dumb questions that are too personal about reasons for grow and all. This is all part of my fantasy of being a criminal grower. I like to pretend my basil plants are mary Jane plants cause I have a vivid imagination. Anything said in this forum is purely fictional and will not be attempted.

Sounds like a good plan. You could buy two 4 x 4 trays, fill them with coco, and put your clones right into that. Might be less work, and I know a guy who does that and pulls great numbers. And all the plants share the root space, so there's no uneven watering, and they do well. You probably won't need to veg for a month with numbers like that. Just get your clones rooted and healthy, transplant them in there, veg for a few days, do your lollipopping and flip them into flower. That's what I would do anyway.

5 Gallon buckets are plenty big enough for hempy buckets, imho. You could have 4 times as many plants! That's my 2 cents worth! Good luck!

[never mind, I re-read your original post. didn't understand what you meant by 'totes']

The big heavy duty totes you store unmentionables in haha. The totes are around 1'x2' so I can fit eight in 4x4 area. And after much research I found out that four plants per sq ft is the most you should have without jeopardizing yield.

Where would I buy these trays? If I can save money on soiless medium then I'm all for it. The totes even grown hempy bucket style seem difficult to water without drain rain off problems. I'm a clean freak and I would hate messy run off leaking everywhere. My current set up requires me to memorize how much water the res in the totes contain and try to accurately poor each tote with same amounts every feeding. If the trays you speak of can get me to pull an oz off each plant then I would love to change to that. I'm not a DIY kind of guy. My gf gets mad cuz I can't even change the faucet in my bathroom out, I blame it on the meds. Haha btw double the amount of plants I mentioned and that's a closer to accurate amount of plants I need to water accurately every feeding per room. So any break would help me. More constructive critisim welcome. I've seen grows done and read a lot bout it but never did my own hands in so how do I prevent nutrient lock up and how do I make my buds stacked instead of lanky like some grows I've seen that the buds look like some dr Seuss looking plants.
