Starting an indoor grow...just a few questions

What's up guys. I haven't grown in a while, and I'm tired of the prices around these days so I'm getting back in the game.

I have a small space available to me, so I'm thinking of running a 250W in one of these...

It's 2.5' X 1.5' X 3'

I know I will need a cool tube, and a decent fan to keep temps down, but my main question was about my method of choice. I was thinking of doing a Lollipop style SOG in soil with solo cups or similar sized pots.

I have access to a steady supply of clones from a buddy of mine, so I only need a flowering chamber. I would pick them up from my buddy 4 at a time as soon as they have some decent roots and put them right into my tent on 12/12 to flower. My plan is to have one cola per plant (lollipop), hopefully under 2 feet tall. I would just move them down the line every 14 days and then slide in my next batch of 4. After 60 to 70 days my first 4 plants would be ready to chop down, and the next batch would be ready about 14 days later.

I know most people choose to SCROG in this small of a space, but I like the idea of having a smaller batch ready every 14 days instead of a bigger batch every few months.

Anyone see any huge flaws with this setup, or have any input? Any and all thoughts or criticism is welcome.

I looked around the journals, but I didn't see anyone with a setup quite like this one. If someone is doing something like this already, please point me in the right direction so I can reference their work!

Thanks for taking the time to read through my ramblings. I'm out for now.

Lots of lookers and no talkers. I will take the silence to mean that my idea isn't too stupid, and move forward. Hopefully I'll have an update within a month or so. I'm off to peruse craigslist for a used 250W.

Yep seems like you've got everything planned nicely, I'd go for slightly bigger pots though. 1.5L minimum but I'd say 3L if you can fit them in, try finding square ones to maximize the space you have
