Advise PLEASE, Gutted room ready to GROW

Fellow Growers i need your help! I finally got pictures and measurements of my soon to be "op" and i would like some advice please.
Dimensions (measurements done in feet)
11'x10' with 8' ceilings. The room is almost gutted and ready to go. Once i figure out how many lights i need to get, i'll be on my way..
I will be growing the legal limit, 20 plants under Metal Halide (Veg), High Pressure Sodium (Flower) in soil to start.
Questions:
1. How many lights?
2. What other equipment should i purchase before starting my project?
3. What do suggest about smell? Where/How can i move or get rid of the smell?
4. What is the BEST organics i can use? I am very familiar with Fox Farm as i have been growing outdoors for many years. I wanted to try something else, maybe something better?

Sorry for all the questions! this is my first indoor grow and i am willing to spend the doe but i want to do it RIGHT! Please steer me in the right direction so i can get this baby under wayy

1. I use 2 1000watt MH lamps over a 4x4 tray for max veg. I use 2 1000w HPS for max flower yield.
2. are you growing in soil or going hydro? that's your main question to answer. everything else depends on that!

Check out Heath Robinsons fast water dwc setup. its in a 4x4 space grown with a single 600watt lamp. He grew way more plants than you can, but it is a really simple and effective way to grow! He also has a 2 plant grow with 3 600w and got over 80 oz off 2 plants. The thread is called critical mass. check it out!!! good luck!

soil to start than over time i will experiement with hydro.

Gotta give us a budget. Soil to start is good advice. Gotta think about if you're gonna do a sealed room with A/C and Co2 or if you're gonna go the vented room with fans and intakes. I recommend going the A/C Co2 route, it will cost more to set up but save you a million headaches dealing with temp and humidity and should increase your yield.

how do you go about sealing a room? you mean tent it off or something? would i use a portable A/C? As far as budget, i want to go all out and make the BEST product. i really want to use CO2 also. any tips on how i add CO2 to room in an easy fashion would be really helpful. i know its all trial an error but i want to get this going. Thanks in advance i really appreciate it kiss-ass
