8 Bucket waterfarm with a SCROG

I have been trying to decide how to set up my new room. My original idea was to make three seperate rooms. A veg room, a flower room, and a drying room/closet. After doing some planning and thinking I am thinking about making one big room to start off with and doing a 8 bucket waterfarm scrog. I was thinking about setting them up 4 x 2 and getting 4 600w HPS lights and putting them on rails over two plants. So one light would do 2 plants on a rail. I dont know if this is a good idea or if I am overkilling it. Any advice on this would be welcome.

This is a picture of the area i have to work with. I would like to build a wall 8 foot from the back black wall and make the room as hidden as possible. The room is 28 foot wide from the widest part...so the floor. I thought about just squaring the space up and making one room but then i am wasting a lot of space. If i could bring the wall out 8 feet i could do basically 2 rooms. One 8x18 and the other 8x10. I dont want or need to fill the entire space i would just do it for ease of construction. Ceiling is aprox. 8 foot at center

The possibilities are only limited by money with that much space. I would plan on a Ac foe the summer months and I would go all out on insulation, as attics get very hot in the summer months. As for your questions on build out, do it as you see fit.

Make sure you insulat those rafter areas then seal them off either 5 mil plastic or foam or dry wall. Make sure you have good venting up there as it looks like a steel roof which is gonna warm up.

I would do two rooms so you can have a semi perpetual going, start seedlings as you move the veg plants to flower. If it was mine I would have a larger veg and flower room, small mother room anda small one for males, and a small pollinating room. But this is my dream now and not your. Lol

Ya I was just going to do the roll insulation and then put drywall over it. I was then going to cover everything with panda film. Is that over kill at all?

I don't think I'm goig to get into pollinating. If I get any males I will probably just make them compost. I was going to do the clones and the mothers in the same room. My original idea was to do 4 water farms scrogs and 4 3'x3' perpentual flood tables in the flower room so that I could experiment with different strains and growing techniques at the same time? Good or bad idea?

That is a very impressive space you have to work with. I think making a hidden room up there would be ideal that way you can use the rest of the space for something else and no one would no about the secret growing area.
