Get what the professionals run. Gavita. Two of these for a 5x10 would yield quite nicely.

You bet man, especially with lights it’s better to buy once and just cry once.
So you want run about 30w per square foot with LEDs.
If it were me, and I wanted to run that full tent (both sides) I’d probably buy 5-6 of these kits. I have ordered from this seller before but I’m not affiliated with them in any way.

720w on the flower side, 480 on the veg side. I’d go with 3500k for them all so you can just swap them around. 3500k does just fine for flower and veg both.
If you want to save a few bucks, consider Lm301b vs lm301h chips, but I’d make sure what you get has one or the other.

Dam 1300$ a piece is kinda pushing it, that's basically all my set cost equal 1 of those lights lmfao, for sure I'll get them after I get done with my first complete cycle

I mean you might as well do it right the first time.
Could go with something like this if you wanna be a cheapskate.

Just 2. I dont actually know anything about those lights, they just look like a decent light for the money, research before you buy.

Yeah careful, those lights are cool but the older 561c chips.
Meijiu or Kingbrite boards with LM301h or LM301c chips are the way to go. 720 actual watts of a more efficient chip for $500 US shipped.
In my opinion anyway, like @JoeBlow5823 said do ya research before buying on the LEDs. I wouldn’t buy anything without a Samsung LM301(x) diode or Meanwell driver either until you know what you’re doing.

I guess I’ll chime in on the tent as well... I have a 4x4x80 vivosun tent I used to use as a flower tent, and I never had any issues with it aside from splitting a pole once pushing on it to move the tent while it was full early on. That was stupid and my fault... turns out several hundred pounds doesn’t just slide across the floor like I wanted it to.
It’s been up and down probably a dozen times now. Zippers are all fine and smooth.
I dunno about one that big. I can see it getting flimsier as it scales up.

Those are really only good for a 4x4 footprint at best.
