theoretical motherless rotating crop UCdwc

So I'm about to try and set up something I've been working on in my head. First time hydro grower. I'm hoping to lay out my plans and have someone tell me what i got right and what i have wrong.
I want to clone clones and put two clones in each 5 gallon bucket (roots are pulled to the sides with string as a form of LST to keep roots separate). One of these buckets weekly, so two cuttings go in and two come out. 1 veg rez and 2 flower rezes, uc with stones, lids being rotated weekly like an assembly line, with buckets being stationary.
Veg room is 1 cloner tray and 5 buckets. Flower room is 9 buckets in a 3x3 pattern. Im currently researching UCdwc. Materials so far are: 5gl buckets, two small air pumps, hose, a few small stones (getting more soon), 6" inline duct fan and scrubber, 1.5" rockwool, ph and ppm meters, ph up and down kit, 2" net cups.
Nutes are: flora trio, sweet berry carbo bloom, dynagro 7-9-5
Flowering room has 2x 400w hps, 2x 125w 2100k cfls, 2x 105w 5600k cfls.
Veg room has 1x 4" 8-bulb t5, 1x 2" 4-bulb t5, 1x 175w metal halide, 1x 105w 5600k cfl.

what will you theoretically do when your space gets too hot or too humid?
Still workin on that, and not only am i open to suggestions, its why im here ;) im using the back room in a mobile home. The central air is disconnected and replaced with window units, so the vent in the floor is my air in and air out. Two ducts will go through it, forking under the trailer in two directions with one in one out. With winter coming im hoping heat wont be an issue and that I'll be able to add a window unit or something back here before it gets hot again. Once i do that, the floor vent will be exhause only. Thats just off the top of my head though. I need every step planned out before i take the first one..

nice. you'll need heat and ac and a dehuey likely to keep safe.
spend all of your xtra cash on bigger better stink cans if you have neighbors.
you could seal it up(dont use outside air) and use cool tubes through your vents, that'd be sweet.

Also, almost every video i see looks like plants grown from seed and/vegged way longer than i plan to. Huge thick stalks. Didnt find much on rotating crops cloning clones, even though i read you can clone clones just fine. I plan to mainline each clone twice, to end up with 4 colas all lookin the same on each clone, making 8 per bucket.

Im a little unclear on that last part. You mean seal up the room? If i dont get air from outside, ill have to get it from in the house, which will bring down my stealth score. Im already in the process of cleaning out the room, repainting the walls white, caulking all corners and borders to make it close to airtight, and disinfecting top to bottom, before i start moving any equipment into it. I only have the one stink can (talkin bout carbon scubber, right? Lol) but plan on buying another exhaust kit (which is just what i call the $80 combo of 6" inline fan and 6" stink can). Neighbors are far away but my roommate's dad mows her yard twice a month so im just tryin to avoid him smellin it every time he mows past this end of the house lol

yeah, stealth.
stink can=carbon scrubber-yes.
hepa filter your incoming air
pick up some lemon balm seeds and spread them around that end, they'll sprout, be invasive, and stink like lemon when he mows every year, prolly never even see them either.

Is there a way to delete this thread? Ive changed my plan. A bucket a week gives my rotating garden too many issues with unlevel canopy. Switched to 10 buckets every 9 weeks. Also bought a water pump to switch to rdwc (or ucdwc, whatever)
