well i would try you take every advantage of the plant count that i could say i was allowed 10 plants i would have 1 or 2 mothers id take 2 clones from each one and start them on veg then half way through the life of those clones id take two more and have a perpetual harvest
Maximize efficiency!

As St1kybudz said u previously, go cloning!! you have enough space to overstock a state with clones buddy
Grab & copy the very best genetics in your area (asking for permission). Start donations with local moldy hippies; show them your work while you do weed tourism.. you will soon dont 've to buy..social engineering required. Let the flowering 2x2 area to harass & stress test purposes,
Jiffy cloning in 80-150 sites trays is the simplest & low odour way to maximize your yield imo. Read about stasis & stuff like that, use your fridge, grab better lights (go to the led section), change your nickname if plant count is limiting you^
As for gaining some experience i'd say Work with little/penalized containers all the way --> rocket like learning curve guaranteed. SOG, breeding, & cloning will let you there for sure
All very appreciated advice. Thank you very much. I'm definitely liking the cloning. The single plant I trained for months did not impress me with yield enough. So as of now, I'm rocking 2 mother plants at a time. Which I will switch out periodically when I find better genetics, but I'm taking the clones at about 4 inches, dipping them in clonex, and sticking them straight into my soil mix in a solo cup, misting the hell out of it and sticking a plastic bag over it for about 5 days, then taking the bag off and misting the leaves 2 or 3 times a day. So far i'm 15 for 15 on rooting this way, which is super cool because its so damn easy, compared to the 1/6 strike rate my bubble cloner ended up with. 
So after they show new vegetative growth for 1 week, I move them straight over into flower. I've been just leaving them in the solo cups, seems efficient enough, I just have to water them everyday toward the beginning of flowering. I also grow 2 new seedlings at a time along side the mothers and clones, and take test clones from the new seedlings, flower them, and decide whether to trade them out for one of my mothers.
I think that strategy is really going to pay off, Now I just have to save up a bit to improve my ventilation and then improve my lighting. I bought some nice LED's but can't really think about building a fixture for them until I fix the ventilation with a few fans. Even with just the single 100watt LED, its hitting 28 celcius ambient temp with the doors closed. Humidity seems to stay around 40-45% no mater what I do.
But anyways, Once I get a better feel for the growing process where I can produce real, good quality and quantity bud, I'll start sourcing some better genetics from seed-banks. Currently, both of my mothers are from a strain with some really interesting trippy effects when harvested a bit earlier (when only about 25% of the pistils have turned orange.) But unfortunately, they both have hermie genes. Its ok, but a pain in the ass to continuously search for pollen sacks. The strain seems to lose the trippy effects and go into a more stoned high after waiting past about that 25% mark. If I wait for 75%, the bud barely even gets you high. I'm having so much fun
haha
Heres something that I think might be cool as a side note. I recently realized that this particular strain i'm growing is the same strain I was smoking when I took a large dose of a powerful psychedelic substance closely related to shrooms called 4-aco-dmt. And some of the effects that I would describe as "trippy" are the same effects I experienced under that drug. (Everything looks melty and feels warm and euphoric, and you start hearing the lyrics of songs, and the words you see all around you as though someone is attempting to communicate with you through them, or perhaps that somehow, a large number of people seem to always be pondering the same issue at the same time, the same issue you happen to be pondering, also changes in the perception of time and synesthesia.) I think perhaps, the memory of this weed is enabling me to reconstruct the state of mind the psychedelic put me in. Its like an association game. idk, but its all very interesting to me.
