hey
i live in a country where marijuana is illegal, so i can't ship fem seeds nor a tent (draws so much attention), so i decided to build a stealthy cabinet and here's my planned grow op;

SETUP:
-i am planning on building a wooden cabinet, 150 cm width, 50 cm depth, 200cm height, split the room at 100cm width, resulting in one 100cm wide 50cm deep room, and one 50cm wide 50cm deep.
-get two QB96 Elite v2 for the 50cmx100cm room, and one qb132 for the 50cx50cm room.
-add ventilation and paint everyting white.

PLAN:
-since i cannot grow from fem seeds everytime, i plan on popping seeds in my 50cmx50cm room, select best females and use 1 or 2 as mothers and grow from clones.
-in the 50cmx100cm room i plan on growing 2 clones each cycle, veg for 2months with training and topping, then flower.
-so the big part of the room will be for an entire grow from veg to harvest and the smaller part will be for keeping mothers and clones (or maybe split in half height and veg two plants under CFL's if i can get my hands on a consistent supply of females seeds somehow).

QUESTION:
1- my plan is to harvest 500g each cycle (approx 4 months), considering everything (lights, environment, nutes, ph...) is in check, is a 50cm deep 100cm wide room able to produce 500 grams each cycle? or do i need to upsize the area?
2-i seek opinions from experiences growers, what do you think of my plan? is it the most efficient way to grow considering the limitations i face? or other grow styles (for example keep mother plants, take many clones, and then do a SOG 12/12 from seed in the other room) or (a perpetual grow where i put the 50cmx50cm room on veg and 50cmx100cm room on flower all the time, veg random bag seeds for a month then move them to the flower room, throw the males keep the females, veg some more in the veg room while the females are flowering.. and so on)

but the main question is; can a 50cmx100cm room hold 500g per harvest?
i live in lebanon so most probably ill be growing a lebanese strain, which is a productive strain.
i need to make the decision upfront since my financial ability is limited and there is no room for mistakes. i'll grow no matter what, and F*CK the government. peace

Think I read it wrong I was thinking 50cmx50cmx100cm.

I guess It may be possible with sog if you have the height. But I still think that's pushing it pretty hard and still doubt it

It will take a run or 10 to build the experience needed. Read a lot and take notes on your grows.

i have all the time, but i dont have all the money to upgrade later. so learning is not a problem.
so a 50cm deep 100cm wide area under 400-500w QBs can't produce 500g?

i will soon grow beautiful buds like these. great job man

so there is no way 500g can fit in 50cmx100cm ? the problem is that a 100cmx150cmx200cm will look shady and point out that something is going on in that b*tch lol

maybe keep a mother plant and take many cuttings in smaller pots straight into 12/12 in the 50x100, can i harvest 250 grams every 2-2.5 months doing that?

my personal consumption is about an ounce per week, so i am trying to figure out how to achieve 500g every 4-5 months in order to satisfy that need🤑

No idea about how you can do that in a small space, but I suggest that you "practice" flowering on a single plant (or up to 3)..to get a feel.
You will find that flowering is way different than vegging, which is usually very easy.

All sorts of things can rear their heads in flower..over/under watering, over feeding, underfeeding, ph problems; not to mention that there are some strains that can just be difficult to either clone or grow. ie: if I want to clone a Gorilla pheno; I take double the number of cuts that I normally would take. I find that I lose a bunch initially, and some just stay "not to my liking" and are culled.

In veg with a photo, if we mess up..they can and usually will recover. In flower, if they recover, they could be stunted and slowed by any measurable stress (hermies happen)
Good luck and do enjoy whatever you grow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got back from the carpenter, the room that is within my budget is 60cm depth, 150cm width, 200cm height. The 1m deep will cost way over my budget.

Can i sacrifice some height? If i do, maybe i will be able to make it 1m deep within mh budget.
