The light is cool if that's your options. Don't forget the operating costs involved.
New lamps, electric bill, ballast dies, cooling the space(s). Outter room heat management etc. +60$ a month added on the bill.

Soil on a budget that you can run without modding? Sunshine mix with mycos sold at Home Depot for 24$ a bale, enough to fill a 32gal trash can. You can run it out the package no tweaking.

I buy that and just add rockdust, kelp, worm casting's, orgeonizimXL, lime as a base for my outside and inside. It can go pure organic or synthetic from there.
I cook it all summer in cans outside and rotate on reloads.

Soil that has served it's purpose for years is tossed into the yard for the turf.

Oh yeah for sure regardless I know that hydro is bill is going up.

Here another question. The space id be putting it in is 6ft wide and like 20ft (ish) long. Its a section at the end of the basement where I my furnace and water heater is that I closed off to double a storage area. In the summer I do have humidity issues that reach 70-75. I have a dehumidifer that keeps it under control. I had been looking at the Ac Infinity T4. Do you think it could be a good option to look at? Being that the tent would be right beside an exterior wall, If thought about venting to the outside. Would there be anything to worry about in the cold Canadian winter months?

Get the t6. It's the most efficient. 52 watts Max power, definitely get 2 if you wanna be safe, or sure

really like the idea of automatic fan control but my concern is do I really need it? Even if I have humidity problems my dehumidifier works very well at maintaining. Iv decided I'm most likely going to vent all the air outside, instead of recycling it. In what circumstances does this fan benefit over a regular with 3 speed control?

I visited the local grow shop and was recommended using Gaia green all purpose then come flowering use power bloom as a tip dressing. Seems simple enough to start.

Well I finally pulled the trigger on my setup so Im pretty excited to get started. I went with a vivosun 6" fan/filter combo to keep costs down but if its too loud or not efficient to my liking il exchange it. Still trying to make a decision on medium if i want to try coco with liquid lutes right out of the box. Watched a crap load of videos so I do understand it a bit better.

Many people say soil is a great way to start but I just don't see how things could be easier than coco.
There is no guessing game involved, you feed every watering (ph 5.8-6.2) without going too strong on nutes and you water til run off and your away.
Coco for the win! (said every coco guy ever)

So what have you bought so far?
Any reason why your limiting to a 2x4 tent? I think sometimes it best to decide your lighting and go with a tent that matches.
For instance if you went with a bulb then a square tent is best, where if you went with some LED brands a rectangle is best.

315cmh or 400w hps= 3x3
260w quantum board or similar =2x4.

Sounds like you have plenty of space.
