I think 200w LED should do the trick.
Don't bother with Blurple.
IMO - Look for a light that uses Samsung LM301b or LM301h chips and Meanwell Driver(s).
Good luck

Better off with the sf2000 if you can afford it.
The sf1000 won't cover the 3ft side with sufficient light
What about 2 sf1000

That's the best option
Okay cool so the 2 sf1000s instead of the 1 sf2000
That's the best option
Needs some help on getting a soil base going? Would it best to use a organic living soil or coco? Also wanting to add some extras anyone know anything about Earth Dust Base and Bloom. Wanting to add organic worm castings to the mix as well? Lemme know what everyone thinks.
Go with HLG quantum board v2. a fixture with 2-3 boards would smoke that tent. Two HLG 96 elites would be good also.

I would go with hlg. They make fantastic products. This kit won't disappoint https://growace.com/horticulture-lighting-group-260w-xl-qb288-v2-r-spec-qb-led-kit.html?/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Smart Shopping | Horticulture lighting group&gclid=Cj0KCQjw1PSDBhDbARIsAPeTqredQt5fF4AZmRHo16IK3XPl80E5QyE5sYfdTUu3czx_JaTYxpnuH2caAncXEALw_wcB
Check out dr. Earth or gaia products. I personally use dr. Earth and have nothing but positive things to say. Check out my grow https://www.rollitup.org/t/lazypotheads-4x4-critical-kush-geekbeast-grow.1045663/

Building your our soil is a huge rabbit hole. You could spend weeks researching and sourcing ingredients. Are you in the US? If so I'd advise getting a bag or two of "water only" potting soil from kiss organics, buildasoil or similar. Unless of course you want to go down that rabbit hole, I have and I find it fascinating and extremely rewarding.
Yes I’m in the US. So could I go with like Roots organic living soil and then add my worm castings and such just to amp it up if needed?

If you want to build your own soil google "coots mix recipe". Coots mix is a really good reference point to build a reusable "no till" mix. I followed it pretty closely for my last few grows, and I was delighted with the results. Unless you live in a certain area in the US you might struggle to source some of the ingredients but just replace them with something similar that's available locally to you and you'll be fine.

I just looked up roots soil. For your first grow it looks perfect. If I was you I'd top dress with your worm casting at the beginning of flowering period and just just use plain water the whole way. Maybe some sort of mulch to stop the top layer of soil from drying out and becoming a deadzone.

No I wouldn't mess with it by adding extra coco. Every soil will benifit from a mulch,theyll all dry out at the surface if they're "naked". If I was in the US I'd buy "kis organics biochar soil" and fill two fabric pots and go water only the whole way to harvest. Get the biggest pots that will fit in your tent, probably 16 inch diameter in your case. Mulch with straw, dead leafs, wood chips or similar. That's close to fool proof for a beginner imo.
Just go with coco/perlite mix and liquid nutes !!
what’s the difference in the kis organics and the roots or any other living soil
