You will need a 45 AMP 120v circuit breaker if you plan to run 4k watts . Breakers should never run above 80 percent capacity . A 45 AMP breaker is good for 4300 watts .

Invest in a contactor to turn the 45AMP breaker on and use a timer to start the contactor to start the 45AMP breaker. That way you can connect all your lights to one single timer (without the contactor a timer can only do 3k watts safely. A contactor allows you to put the actual breaker on a timer.

Keep your extraction fans on a separate breaker and split your fans over two breakers aswell. If your lights trip your fine . If your fans trip your plants are dead .
