I've got 4x1000w@10A lights\ballasts ready to go.

I want to go 220v

Theoretical setup:
50A Main Fuse > 16ft (6 gauge?) extension > 4x Parallel 220v outlets

I plan on offsetting their startups by 5-10 minutes through timers to eliminate a power spike.

Do I need a bigger breaker? Is the first ballast to power up going to be overloaded by the available power before the other 3 kick in? For that matter, what about the cheap $10 10A 220v timers I have? Are they ok? Could (or should) I maybe install outlet boxes with in built 10\15A breakers? Is that even possible? Could someone please chime in, maybe with a basic diagram (in a few words)?
