Awesome! Round 2 can only get better right… im here and watching. But u should know me. Questions!!!
3 different areas will help more then you can imagine. Do you plan on staggering stages and starting a perpetual?
Breeder plant? I believe you mean a mother. One plant constantly in veg. Your favorite strain/pheno/smoke. And constantly take clones, root, veg, then flower them. And keep the mom for a stable of clones. Or a breeder like your seeds arent feminized and ur hunting a good male and female to make seeds?
The lighting ur possibly gonna want to upgrade if you intend to maximize that space. 8x10 = 80 x 35 = 2800? (Thats high efficiency) 80 x 50 = 4000w… really what ur aiming for when growing. 50w per ft ². But no rush. Shop slow and smart. Research.
Lastly u can up that cup by now maybe… got pics?
Sorry afterwork blunt got me again… rambling. Long story short. Ill be lurking.

I might just get another phlizon duel switch 305 adv wall watts
Please please please… my brother from another mother… please consider the new fangled way… leave those blurps in the 90s man. Try a cheapie. Get you a hlg 100ish… think they make 80s and 120s… you may drop $150 on 100w of light. And just try it out on vegging. I promise you wont regret it
I have 4.5 journals and the first one was my crash course. Trust me. I yielded bout an ounce off at least 15 dropped seeds. Learn from my mistakes

Watching with interest. Really liking the grow zone arrangement!
I do agree with @PurpNGold74 on the LED’s though. My first run was under a Viparspectra 900W (423 watt draw). My 4 x 4 was full no doubt, and I got quite a lot of smoke out of it. But all of the colas were really fluffy. Lots of crystals and lots of sticky - but fluffy - it had very little weight to it. I am not blaming the lights completely though, I feel that I probably under watered - more so near the end - without knowing it. I also used the bare minimum nutes. They were healthy and happy - so was I.
This run will see the Viparspectra used for veg only - changing up to a 600W HPS in a Cool Tube and utilising the correct supplements to focus more on maximising. I learned from my mistakes - hopefully that really ups my quality. No question that good genetics will also improve things.
Best o luck!!! 
Ya I’m going ipower 600w digital ballest mh in veg hps I’m bloom **

Hello @Scattered I have zero actual experience with bulb style lighting, I moved from the sun to LEDs. I know that they are hot and so I never even tried em. My only suggestion would be to vent your tent all the way outside to remove the excess heat
Thanks for the tag mate!
It sounds like your airflow is seriously underdone. That, in addition to quite a heat load from all the gear.
Are you using the whole room as a grow area? Or do you have tents in the room? When I read back, it sounds like a tent inside a tent inside a room? I am confused.
But the fans you have will not do. You MIGHT get away with the 4" exhausting the cabinet - but you need to get rid of the heat while cool air enters from somewhere.
Happy to try and help - just trying to understand
