New grow room. Need expert opinions

So heres my growroom design. Those are 8ft x 5in posts. 2 400 watt mh lights in the veg room and t5s on the clone shelf. 2 1000 watt hps for the flowering room. Im think of doing 8 plants per 8 ft post in a sea of green setup using aeroponic style. The wole space is 30ft x 12 ft.
Just looking for ideas and concerns. how should i setup the reserviors. could i use two as drawn or should i have 1 for every set of four rails. trying to have a revolving harvest every month or so but up for any opinions on how often i should with this setup.

You dont need that big of a veg...just a single 400 watt will do.

really? i was thinking it would actually need to be bigger. granted i wont need 16 mothers (8 per railx 2 rails) but to harvest once a month would equal about 8 rails of flowering plants. i only have 4 rails in the veg room and if i let them grow for 1 month before transfering to flower the i would need 8 rails going at all times.

Im also using Advanced nutrient connoiseur lever master grower nutrient combo

trying to figure out how to balance my nutrient solutions into reserviors. how many reses should i use to make this setup work with these nutes. it looks to me like 5 reserviors would be ideal. 1 for week 1, 1 for week 2, 1 for week 3 and 4, 1 for week 5 and 6, and a flush res. hmm, but then the setup i have with four sets of rails wouldnt work. but with the nutes being different between week 1 and 2 and using different reserviors wouldnt correlate to the flow of the rest of this system and i wouldnt be able to keep all spaces occupied at all times. plus the veg room design would have to change to accompany the different size. anyone know a way to get around this? it looks like i have a long way to go before perfecting this?

Maybe im not doing sog to the full definition. im trying to get slightly larger plants but still grow them in close proximity to one another. im giving about 10in of space between each plant on all sides

ok so i could either skip week 2 of big bud or add a diluted solution of it to week 1 and 2 and that should balance everything out right? then i could eliminate 2 rails from the final week of rails. this may just work after all

aLRIGHT, THINK I FIGURED IT OUT. 1ST WEEK CLONING, NOT SURE OF THE NUTES TO USE DURING VEG. THEN EACH 4 RAIL SECTION FOR A 2 WEEK PERIOD ENDING WITH THE FINAL FLUSH WHICH WOULD LEAVE THAT RAIL SECTION EMPTY EVERY OTHRE WEEK.

FORGOT TO CHANGE RES SETUP. GONNA USE 1 RES UNDER EACH SECTION INSTEAD OF THE 2 RESES THAT ARE DRAWN

Maybe more details will help you guys to help me determine pump size. cant seem to find any formulas to figure it out. i think im gonna use 1 mister on each side of every site, so 9 sprayers per unit in 3/4" pvc, we'll say 10' length times 4 rails per pump. also what would be the advantages/disadvantages to using smaller reserviors vs larger

feel free to let me know if this isnt the best route to take
