what should i grow in?

i was kind of thinking of making long wooden planter boxes with soil and starting with seeds, doing the paper towel and getting them to sprout before they went in of coarse!

i heard buying clones cost a lot more then starting with the seeds, like half. correct me if i heard wrong...

i have a second room i can take my clippings and clones to before i start the flowering stage and bud them so i can use that whole space to do the full process. or do i have to separate the rooms off, one side stays in winter light and the other in summer light to bud?

how many plants can i grow in that space total and how much herb do you think i will end up with at the end, time frame from start to finish?

just want to get notes as to what i am looking at and numbers
