possible setup?

All the hydro systems are good and have ups and downs to each. You need to decide. You can make each work for you. E/B would be hard for me to make work in a SOG since they need different things as they go through the room. E/B is a system of a rez on bottom, tray on top gavity feed back to rez. Small water pump to fill the tray 1, 2, 3 inches deep so your pots sit down in it and then slowly drain to rez.

Drip is a water pump in the rez going to your dripper at plants. I don't use emmiters just 1/4 inch tube. That's me more on that. This system can be a small tub or buckets almost anything.

Bubblers, tub with net pots cut in top. air stone for bubbles the more the better. Keep the water to the bottom of the pots till roots hang in water then lower water level a bit.

Drip and bubbler is what I use or used for the time. When I put my drip hose in I put it down to the bottom of the netpot. 15 minutes every 4 hours untill roots hang in the water then the drip is taken out or just turned off and the bubbler takes over. they can be any container that blocks light.

Thats why I say each age in the flower room needs it's own rez. I would go with 10 gallon tubs with four 5 inch netpots in the top, hydrotron to fill them. One or two airstones in each and a drip but you can hand water young plants till roots hang down. My bro does that. If you put in drip you can use the pump to empty rez for change but you still need a hloe to fill. My bro made a hole in his to allow a hand bilge pump from a boat shop. Only take a minute to empty. You have 56 by 56 that will hold 4 tubs with 4 each, 16 plants. Under 1000 even at 8 foot ceiling they will get about 4 foot plus the tub. Depending on how long you veg them about 2 foot for me. They will double in size. Every two weeks, Man that's a full time job.

Changing the rez is the hardest to me the mixing and that is easy it's the weight of the water and where to get rid of it. Get your self a good R/O filter, you will need lots of clean water.
