Hey guys if any of you are frustrated with the noise from inline fans, I found this fan to be exceptionally quiet. Mine is secured right to the ceiling with no resonance or vibration issues. I have the FFC 300 and am really happy with it. MUCH quieter than a 4" inline vortex fan.

All breakers are designed to withstand an inrush current (motor starting). You should be OK. Too late but you could have ran a 12/3 and used a double pole 20a breaker and had two separate 20a feeds, or 40a total ;).
Unless you're running CO2 in a sealed space, your fan will go in the flex duct you already installed and your scrubber on the end of your light. Your "inlet" will then be the outlet.
Passive intake to grow space, then carbon filter - light - fan - exit space. Most fans are better at sucking than blowing, so this will give you max air movement.
If you can source a contactor with an auxiliary switch thats N/C, you would connect the low speed speed wire from the fan to this. Then when the timer energizes the contactor, you would have the hi speed wire connected to that and the aux switch will break. Sounds like you're almost there!
Here is a fuse block holder that will accept up to 30 amp fuses;

As for the 2 speed fan, you would need a separate relay to do that, and the lighting timer would also energize that coil, and the hi speed circuit. SPDT. Single pole double throw...
So a conservative estimate on load is around 7500 watts including your heater and misc. items. You mentioned 220 volts power supply so using that number we get a 34 amp requirement. This means you'll need a double 40 amp breaker and #8 wire from panel to contactor. Your timer will serve as pilot...
1 white widow, 1 jack herer, 1 blue dream, 3 gallon fabric pots with drip feed, coco, veg under 600 watt MH for 4 weeks, flower under 600 watt hps, 661 grams total dry. Totally happy. :)
Just to be clear, how many 58watt tubes are you running? 56 or 112?
Regardless, a simple lighting timer has 40 amp rated contacts so no contactor required.
