Planning Operations 30+

Hi everyone! I'm new here.
Alright well I'll just start from the top.
I have a place out in a rural area, the perfect garage, heated, wired everything.
The good thing is its a 3 cop town and they don't bust for weed cause they care more for the people then busting them.
I do understand the fact that an insanely high electric bill will give them a very good excuse to bring in another type of cop.
We have a 30x30 area but I doubt we'll use all of it.
We're looking to make a decent amount of money without bringing up tons of heat.
We have everything taken care of besides the growing so don't worry about that
I kinda wanna stay under 3600 extra watts.
I mean me and my buddys that live with me we all have gaming computers and everything.
Our comps alone consume 2000 watts and they never turn off + 2 big screens
and a 40,000 watt sound system but that's not on much,
I have no problem playing the bills on time at all, keep in mind this is in BC Canada.
Since some people said that was very important ( duh )

I'm open to any suggestions or comments, I'm very intellectual, but I'm still new.
I've been reading for 48 hours straight now lol I'm stoked as hell.
I know that my set up might not be QUITE enough power.
But I want to know if it will still work and work well.

I was planning on having 4 hydro sets 4x4 and having 15 plants on each.
Along with a drip set for the mothers and a cloning set up.
2 veg and 2 flower = 60 plants total harvesting 30 every 2 months.
I was planning on having 4-430 watt HPS 59,000 lumens.
With 2, 2foot, 2bulb t5's both spectrum's on the top/sideish area, would both of those combined be good enough?
If not would 4-600 watt HPS + the t5's be good enough? I hope so...I can't run 1000's.
I'd also have 2, 4 bulb, 4 footers one for the clones and one for the mothers.
Along with the entire area having walls built around it covered in Mylar.
Oh and I also was reading up on SOG and all that stuff, is it fitting for me do? and should I do that?
Or when do you do that, and for what reason.
