comments and suggestions please

hello everyone! I am going to be starting an indoor grow op and have compiled my shopping list and would greatly appreciate any suggestions/comments on what I may be missing because I know if you don't plan, plan to fail.

So here goes:

There will be two rooms one for my moms/veg and one for flowering

Lighthing: 6x600w complete systems
Including: 6x600w lumatek ballests
6x6" Xtrasun AC reflectors

do you think one 600w would be good for 24 plants with six mothers and have five in the flower room or should i do 2 for veg room and 4 for flower???

Grow Systems: 2x cap ebb and grow systems; one w/ 30 units for my veg room
and the second for my mothers/flower room
Also what airstones should i get for my resevoirs???

mylar 2 mil 50 in x 100ft

meters: x2 hanna gro'check continous pH/TDS, EC, Temp

Nutrients: I will be doing the lucas formula so 1 gallon each of general hydroponics flora micro and bloom
Also 1 gallon each of general hydroponics pH up and down
For lucas formula users how long do your nutrients last? how many gallons per grow?

For the smell I will be doing a 3 part attack on the smell
1.) ONA blocks positioned in the room as well as in the ducting
2.) A DIY Carbon Filter dumping all dirty air into a dead space
3.) A CAP Onz-1 ozone generator to clean the dead space before it goes
outside

For my growing medium i will be using rockwool cubes and hydroton

Anything I am missing or haven't thought of please let me know it will be greatly appreciated. +reps for everyone who answers.

That's a pretty large set up for a first go round. Too large for me to comment on with anything meaningful other than have you checked the circuit/circuits in that room to see if they will support that many lights as well as the fans and pumps and whatever else you plan to run in there?

that's the one area i'm a little concerned about....i figure ill need to get about 45 amps isolated for all the electrical of both rooms--so 3 circuits....now i dont know if i should just isolate all outlets to each circuit and tape off all outlets tied to the each circuit except the one or two im using for each room or what.....at some point here ill be trying to get in touch wiht someone on here who is an experienced electrician to further clarify this essential point

Go to the grow room design forum, there is a thread there called experienced electrician here to answer questions. There are several people in there who seem to know a great deal about this. Good luck!
