Random questions from a newbie tent grower

I'm building a closet grow with a 2 x 2 x 52" tent. Although I've grown outdoors several times, I'm struggling with a few items here. This will be used in a closet in the room where I have my home office. I can vent the thing outside through a window, and I plan to grow two autoflowering Indicas at a time.

First, is a 4" ventilation setup sufficient for that size of a tent?

Second, I've only grown in soil and prefer to keep doing it that way, at least for the first time. Many of the components I'm assessing are labeled for hydroponic. Can these still be used for soil?

Third, I'll be going with a LED light and am wondering what size you reco for this type of set up.

I do appreciate your help. You collectively guided me through outdoor growing with great results. PS: I'm not including brands in this as I'm not sure that's allowed, but will appreciate any such recos if that's suitable.

nutrients for soil are different strengths than ones for hydro, I don't know what the ratio would be (stronger or weaker feeding)

Good advice from Pacoson so far.
If your soil has a charge to start (Happy Frog, Fox Farm etc...) don't feed for 3-4 weeks from the first leaf set.
Soil: you can use most hydro nutrients. What are they?
Most will have some sort of scale for you to use. Whatever they recommend, start at half.

I'm using General Hydroponics Trio in soil...as millions of others have in the past. :)

Also I'm a fanboy of this light... It's bright, has a small form factor, dims and works great for 2' or 3' squares.


And agree... a 4" fan is plenty for that space.
