A decent-sized carbon filter.

7 and 8 will not cut it once those plants are in full flower - I have two carbon filters and two ozone generators - the latter is nice for the "remnants", but I wouldn't trust them as my primary smell neutralizers.

IMO ozone should only be used when it's part of the exhaust. It's too unhealthy to be breathing, and it's probably not healthy for your plants either.

Timers, progrips for your lights (makes adjusting height easy), mite and pest control (better to have on hand just in case), clonex or other rooting gels (you will want to keep some genes going for sure), ph up and down, spare bulb(s) (better to be safe then sorry). Extra soil, perlite, lime, and molasses (I love adding this to the girls) for your organic soil grow. 30x microscope for when its time to look at those trichs. Spare exhaust tubing you might get some breakage along the way. I know I am missing more but some other helpful farmers will point them out sooner or later. Good luck.

Oh yeah forgot humidity and temperature gauge with min/max recall feature. You will definately want to keep track of your temps highs and lows for the day.

most important thing is getting rid of the ozone and get the right size carbon filter set-up.

Not to pick but Pro-mix is not soil. It's gonna need some goodies added to it or you will need to use your nutes. Might know that but it's good to know that it's blank out of the bag. If you are considering a mix like subcool I would encourage you to look at dj shorts mix. it was the first mix I ever made ten years ago and it was real good for pro-mix. I used it instead of coarse cut sphagnum for the base. It was water only, no ph adjust and easy. I gave them an occasional tea but for the most part they needed nothing and it was some organic goodness. I like Maxicrop for the kelp and some good fine guano for not the stuff like rabbit turds...lol

You need to hire an electrician if you are not one and make sure you do not burn down your home when you plug it all in... That was the first thing I did before plugging in... Good Luck... Peace

Ya definitely wanna check the mount of amps your gonn be pulling nd do the numbers nd mke sure it's safe. Otherwise you run the risk of overheating breaker and BOOYAH fire in yo house. Good meters for reading ph ect. Oh ya and those plants too.

I would def get someone to check out your power, I have blown so many wires in my walls in the last few years that I just hire someone to run my higher gauge wire independently on its own breaker and have zero problems. just my .02
