Read this guide - I wish I had had something like this when I started: http://homegrow-pro.com/quantum-board-build-grow-tent/ Read this guide too: http://homegrow-pro.com/the-3x3-grow-tent-setup/
Essentials
• Grow Tent: 3 ft x 3 ft x 6 ft is the size you'd probably want. This is the one I bought: https://www.amazon.ca/VIVOSUN-Hydroponic-Observation-Window-Growing/dp/B01DXYMKIO
• Light: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Kingbrite-240W-samsung-lm301h-288v3-quantum_62120261175.html?spm=a2700.7803241.0.0.31d73e5fhFxf6a This light is a fantastic LED quantum board that is very easy to assemble - I got the 3000K one with the epistar
• Fabric Pots: Head to Amazon and grab yourself a 5-pack of 7 gallon fabric pots https://www.amazon.ca/VIVOSUN-Gallons-Thickened-Nonwoven-Handles/dp/B00TF9E9PY/
• Also get yourself a saucer (you can get this at any garden store) and a pot elevator for each pot (pot elevator example: http://amazon.ca/Gro-Pro-725675-Level-Elevator/dp/B01J37FHF8/)
• Soil: Get yourself a bail of Pro Mix HP with mycorrhizae (it's cheap, reliable, and hard to overwater) from Canadian Tire, Rona, any store really and get also a bag of earthworm castings. Cover the bottom of your fabric pot with the castings (2-3 inches deep) https://www.homehardware.ca/en/20l-organic-worm-castings/p/5025712

• Ventilation: Get the AC Infinity Cloudline T4 - it's absolutely worth it. Then purchase a 4-inch carbon filter and 4 inch tubing from Amazon (branding doesn't matter for these two things) https://www.amazon.ca/AC-Infinity-CLOUDLINE-T4-Ventilation/dp/B06ZXWN3BG https://www.amazon.ca/AC-Infinity-Dual-Layer-Aluminium-Ventilation/dp/B071LHCFZ8 https://www.amazon.ca/VIVOSUN-Australia-Charcoal-Pre-filter-Included/dp/B01DXYMBU6

Personally I would not be looking at that kit. The Light is an old style magnetic ballast which are less efficient and not dimmable....it is also only a 400w light which is kind of small for a 3x3 tent.
I also wouldn't buy a premaid hydro setup, the buckets can be picked up at a homedepot for a few bucks and you can cut the holes in the covers yourself instead of paying the costs they want.
The fan is only a duct booster fan which is not the best option (I use one myself and it works, just not the best option) And there is no carbon filter included in the kit.

https://www.amazon.com/VIVOSUN-Horticulture-Hydroponic-Obeservation-Growing/dp/B01DXYMKIO/ $95
https://www.amazon.com/Apollo-Horticulture-AH-IF6-CF6/dp/B01A3068MU/ $140
Those are the most important things for the grow, then price out your air pumps and stones. Build the buckets yourself and save yourself a ton of money.
perfect so it is meant to exhaust the air from the tent to outside. Do I need to do anything in regards to adding fresh air? Or will just exhausting the air out somehow give it some air because of the negative pressure.
Here is a link to the tent if it matters.

edit: Wow, thanks so much! You broke my reddit golden cherry haha :) Much appreciated.
>would that quantum 260w still be better than the quantum 135w for a 2x2 tent?
The 135w kit will be plenty for a 2x2 space, didnt see you were talking about a 2x2. The 260w kit is WAY too much in a 2x2.
Here's a 3x3 vivosun $90 with prime shipping on amazon and is plenty tall.
You should be training your plants via topping/LST/scrog to make them fill horizontally more so than vertically. My plants are never more than about 2' tall from base of stem to the top. Example that plant was 8" tall and yielded about 4-5 ounces
>as for DIY, it's enticing but I think i want a one-stop shop type situation to keep things easier to get going faster should i decide to go for it since i'm so excited about starting.
That's no problem. Go for the quantum board kits then. They're quasi DIY, meaning you need to still wire them up and all but it's so easy to do. They have wiring diagrams on their site. You poke the wires into the connectors on the boards and use wago connectors to connect wiring. There's no soldering or anything required. Wago connectors have levels you lift up and put the wires in and close the levels to connect. The LED strips in the diy setup are the same way but you need to build your own frame, only difference.
Vivosun3x3 i like it was easy to put together
