Welcome aboard and to your new great hobby @Djmj 
There a re a lot of folks that can help here with all the measurements and stuff. I am a little more lax with my numbers and digits 
I do know that the light might be a little small for two plants, usually wanna see around 200W per plant. Will be using the same light throughout?

How ya doing up there, gromie???
I saw a temp map of the US the other day. When they start using purple/pink/white, it’s getting HELLA COLD.
They didn’t have a color to represent how cold it is there, so they left it normal color!!!

Thanks for asking @420386 …
I’m kinda feelin’ sorry for all y’all who been discovering what a cold snap feels like.
Here in MN, when the temperature here hits -10F, it’s an ordinary day. Sometimes schools close to keep kids safe, but work will expect you to arrive on time same as always.
Keep warm, you hear?!

@OUTinMN we’re crying here in the south with 20/30’s at night. I was seeing -50’s(windchill)and worse up your way

Welcome aboard!
Only issue I see is the 100w light.
They say 150w per plant or 40w per sq ft.
Think they will need more light for flower.

Welcome to the forum. And @TransplantedFarmgirl is right. That light is great for starting plants. But will soon be under powered for even one plant. I use a pair of their 600w = 90w really for my 2x4 veg tent. Some thing similar to HLGs 260 light would be perfect for that tent and give you great yields.

New hobby indeed. I was hoping to use the 1 light throughout. But I’m thinking now that it might not work. I’m looking into getting a Mars hydro fc4000. Pricey, but was told it will work well with the 4x2 grow tent.

Thanks I appreciate the advice growmie! I am looking at the lighting scenario right now. I’m looking into getting a Mars hydro fc400 and maybe 3 plants max all in a row. I think my next question is what fan ducts to get and what size 4" or 6" in the 4x2?

Yeah seems to be the lighting. I will get on that ASAP. again I am thinking Mars hydro fc4000 for the 4x2 tent. then i need to figure out fan ducts 4" or 6" on the vivosun 4x2x5’ tent

I have a 4" fan in a 3x3 tent. It does ok. I wish I would’ve ordered the 6".
I will upgrade when mines quits. It runs 24/7 for 10 months now. Not sure how long they last.
