Ionic Solutions are only available in very low amounts in hisec. I wouldn't bother extracting it.
I also don't recommend more than one ECU per planet.
This works well for me: * Planet 1: Extract P0 -> P1 * Planet 2: Extract P0 -> P1 * Planet 3: P1 + P1 -> P2 * Planet 4: Extract P0 -> P1 * Planet 5: Extract P0 -> P1 * Planet 6: P1 + P1 -> P2, P2 + P2 -> P3
Some people don't recommend extracting in hisec, and just buy lower tier materials for processing. This works (I've made ISK making coolant from P0 I bought), but you have to be very careful to account for all your costs, or you will operate at a loss if you pay too much for materials.
EDIT: Barren planets are ideal factory planets. Especially small radius ones.

I think you should probably keep things simple then. Extract P0, process to P1, sell it.
If you find you can tolerate that, at a later date setup a planet for P1 + P1 -> P2.
Start small, keep it simple, and grow later. Find your comfort zone first.

Originally by: Koujo Arji When you're brand new to the game and grinding level 1 missions to get that 4 mil it is a big deal.
I agree. I'm guessing you haven't checked your wallet lately.

I don't recommend tearing everything up and moving it. That gets expensive. Just move the ECU if you must. It is the only one that you can/should use a long link on. Let it wander around your main colony.
Optional: With skill you can fit 2x sets of ECU, spaceport, and 2 or more BIF. Locate the ECU on opposite side of the planet if desired. This isn't very grid/CPU efficient though, but it can help when extracting on really lousy planets.
For what it is worth, here's what my factory planets look like (level 4 upgrade): * P2 factory planet * P3 factory planet The idea is to keep links minimal as much as possible.

Quantity over quality.
You can mange planets from a long distance, but I wouldn't recommend further than say 3 jumps from home because you still have to haul.

Originally by: Koujo Arji My skills are still pretty low but working on them. I didn't have much luck in the 0.5 systems but I have found a couple of higher sec systems with planets with around 50% Aquenous Liquids and another one jump away with 45% ish Micro Organisms. I was thinking maybe I could produce some test cultures. Maybe not awesome isk but profitable?
Depends. Is there a market for Test Cultures?
I'm beginning to think you should Just do itÖ and see what happens. At some point one has to leave the spreadsheets behind, as they only take you so far.

Then, I will either pick up the P0, and import it to a second (factory) planet,
no no no no no... Speadsheets! never import / export p0 - the costs are massive, process p0 to p1 on your mining planet and then export P1 to a factory planet
Seconded.
P0 to P1 processing should always be done on the extraction planet, even if you intend to export. The savings in import/export fees and volume are both huge enough to make it worth while.
If you do P3 and P4 processing, you will also find that you will want to do as much processing on the same planet as possible (typically starting with at least P2) to reduce import/export fees.
