Sorry Bro havent been on for a awhile. If you havent fixed your problem Maybe I can help? Whats the dealy?

Looks Like you have plenty of Room for expansion!!! Use 20Amp Circuits rather than 15Amp Circuits. That way you can run more equiptment with less wiring cost. If you need further assistance feel free to contact me and I'll walk you through it!:bigjoint:

Look on the name plate. Every piece of electrical equiptment has a name plate were all the information about the unit is given. You should look at the votage requirements for all your equiptment before you start building, You might have the wrong voltage. Make sure it is what you think it is...

What is the size of your main breaker? If you have a 2Pole 100Amp Main breaker you could for instance actually use up to 150Amp with out exceeding the 75% Load Ratio. 2Pole 100Amp Main = 100Amps Per Phase. So as long as its balanced you could load it up. Sorry I was off on a tangent, It...

you cant install a 30amp breaker on14awg wire. what is the voltage of your a/c and your HPS ballast? You should always try to do your ballast at 240volt. That way you can add more lights:weed:

Agreed< Any thing would be better than splitting 2Pole Loads and running single pole loads off of a 2Pole circuit breaker. I would just use the over current protection at the original main to supply the subpanel which could just be Main Lug Only Panel that way you save Cash on the breaker...

You may want to go with a 70amp subpanel rather than trying to hack all that circuitry together. Keep your loads seperate. You don't want to start tying in lighting loads with a/c loads. Keep it clean and simple. Run a sub outside your grow then its nice and simple. Simplicity is a good thing

In this business you always want to DERATE your wire size which means upsizing your wire size regardless of amperage for heat factor and constant load. I always derate 1 size larger than recommended. Ex. 30amp circuit use #8AWG wire, 20Amp Circuit use #10Awg. Also never go above 75% PER...

Don't overload your circuits, or neutrals and you should be fine

I'm new here but i've been doing electrical in this industry for a long time. IF you have electrical questions, problems I might have the answers for you!:joint:
