It ended up revegging because my cat stepped on the timer so the light was turning on in the middle of the night. I still smoked it but it was super harsh and it looked like shit and wasnt very strong. I've used this light for about three grows now. I like it, never had any issues with my plants (due to lighting at least lol)
Hey I use gavita 1000w lights but I did experiment with some of the cheaper led’s a few years ago to see what they were all about and I would recommend this one if you are only growing 2-4 plants.

A small tent could definitely be useful to keep whatever area you’re growing in clean and unaffected by the frequent watering. Also will help with reflecting the light off the walls. Nutrients are up to you. I use house and garden but made a few tweaks to the line up. For example I don’t use shooting powder, and instead use “peak” by aurora nutrients. But any well known nutrient line should do just fine.
I'm looking at purchasing a 2000W lamp as I'll be doing container planting and not outdoors as my growing season is pretty short. Is this too big or is there no such thing?

One worked great for veg in my 5x5 but I could tell that I had too much canopy for flowering with just the one. Very happy with the outcome so far that one of these has produced.
Happy to share my experience, hope it helps! It's a bit expensive, and possibly overkill for your situation, but my tomato starts love this LED light.
The one I got from amazon is similar.. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MT2SGER/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It works great to start my plants indoors, have used it 3 years now, and I grow about 30 plants tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, green beans, cucumbers, etc.

To OP:
If you get a blurple light, I would recommend green tinted sun glasses so your vision doesn't get all weird after working in the grow room.
it seems to have changed overnight, though! Maybe with the new light they've made much more new growth in one day; I didn't think of that.
