Optimizing grow garage space

Hey guys, how would you maximize your yield in a 16x4’ grow space with 10’ ceilings? Besides cuttings/seedlings I don’t want to have more than 8 plants vegging/flowering in large organic sips. My original plan was To flower in 12x4 using (4) 315 cmh’s but now leaning towards (3) lm301b 480w Samsung led’s (Cheaper/cooler/last longer) and vegging in 4x4. Would love some input. I want to have most of the details dialled In before pulling the trigger on the build. Tia

A drawing showing windows or inlet/outlet of air would get some answers. In summer it’s cooling that’s the issue and you mention LED for less heat. Your plans for air circulation and odor control?

I will exhaust To the outside during summer and into the main garage during winter.

use a 6” 400cfm inline scrubber and a separate 6” 400cfm for exhaust.

You may want to expand that 4 foot dimension a little, otherwise it may be very difficult to move around in there once you have plants rocking the space.

Agree if possible. That’s no elbow room. Are you trying to keep this concealed?

Totally agree with the elbow room so I’m going to have a 5x8 roll up door Centerd in the flowering room. I’ll also have the large sips on casters to be able to move them in and out of the room and work on them in the main garage.

I guess my main question is how to efficiently cycle the plants.
-Should I have a 4x4 veg area with 4 plants, while flowering 4 plants in a 4x12 area?
-how should I deal with exhaust with 2 different rooms?
-my son is a carpenter and said if needed we can build a movable wall between rooms if that would help.
-I also need to be able to do the initial 10’sh days of drying in these rooms as well.

That’s a mighty tall order for a small space. Why the drying in this area?

I just figured I would be able to use this space. When the plants are chopped, the only growing space needed during the drying would be the 4 in vegging. ‍
