Im new to growing still trying to figure out what i want. Im looking to grow 1 to 2 plants at a time in a 2x2. Sounds odd but i think i could grow 1 or 2 pretty huge plants with this setup. The light i plan on getting is a mars hydro ts1000. Its meant for a 3x3 which is why i think using it in a 2x2 growing 1 to 2 plants is good because it would max out the yield. I also plan on using a carbon filter and inline fan for exhaust to vent out heat and running a couple fans for air circulation and strengthen plants. Another thing is 5 gallon fabric pots ph tester and ph up and down. My medium of choice is coco choir. Ive watched a lot of fert videos and i want to go with dry amendments and put some in the medium before i grow and mix it around. At the beginning of flower top dress feed and 2 weeks before harvest top dress feed again but less. Not sure if i should run a humidifier or de humidifier. If you guys have any tips or recommendations please let me know. Again i think growing small amount of plants under that powerful led would give me 1 or 2 big solid plants why do you think?

Are you stuck on the mars light? There are much better options available.

You might consider a blue lab soil ph meter, this will measure liquids and also measure the pH of the growing medium, a handy feature.

I think you'll find 2 plants in a 2x2 a tight squeeze. I grow 2 plants in a 2x4 tent and they are inches away from either end. Mind you, I veg for 6 weeks and LST to get them to spread out. I guess it depends on how big you want them before flipping to flower.

I use a humidifier during veg and a dehumidifier during flower. I got one of each of of Amazon, paid about $35 each for them, they are small but it's not a big tent. You may not need them. In the winter it's dry inside and in the summer sometimes there's too much humidity in the air. Get yourself one of those cheap temperture/humidity gauges to put in your tent to keep an eye on it.
