50A 240v to a 12x12 shed, advice/insight?

Hey icmag community! Super excited about things. Electrician told me I dont need a panel upgrade (2500), and that he could move things around and run a dedicated 50A 240v out to my shed out back for $500-700!

Wish I could get more amperage out of it, but it's not possible. Few questions before I call the electrician back to schedule the job.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It would be best to buy/order most of the equipment now, so I can have the room running the same day I get the power ran to the shed.

I'd LOVE to be able to run 4 gavita 1000's and a 24k btu minisplit, in a sealed room with a propane co2gen and a 5A dehuey. Actually, I'd love to run 6 gavitas, but am not even certain I could get away with the four. Is this possible? I know the AC needs it's own breaker, so I'm not exactly sure how many lights I'd be able to run.

If I'm cutting it close with the 4000w sealed grow, I'm willing to change it up and run 6000w-7000w in sealed hoods and large exhaust fans, cut down on a lot of costs and allow me to grow a much larger canopy.

8 plug setup, 6 are 240 volts and 2 are 120 volts, with 50 feet of wiring. not sure the gauge of the wire yet but i can get it real cheap and it may be able to run 6000w

whats a board like this one worth?

50A of 240 is plenty for a 4k room.

A board like that is worth nothing. Well maybe a fire! It looks wrong because of the orange extension. Can't really tell otherwise, I wouldn't touch it with a 10ft clown pole.
