Here is my equipment list
Matrix 24x48x60
Phlizon 600w Led light
Melon farm 5 gallon fabric pots
Ilgm beginners seed & grow pack. White Widow seeds
HTC-1 temperature and humidity meter
Apera instruments AL ph 20 , waterproof pH pocket tester
I think that’s all the equipment I have bought so far, but it is subject to change. I know there’s a few things I still need to get but hopefully I can put it off for a little while. I plan on only growing 3 or 4 plants at a time. I think 3 will be perfect for the tent I have, 4 might be pushing a little bit.

very nice. will this be your entry to the grow off?
I think 3 will be pushing it. 
2 full grown plants will fit snugly in a 2x4.

Lol he’s just getting started.
@Slim420 I agree two will fit better than three. And your list of stuff there looks pretty solid. I’d say a cheap PPM meter. And I’m assuming you’re using the nutes in the starter pack. But you might want to plan ahead and be making a decision on what you will use after so you can buy them before you run out.
Just adding my 2 cents. I have a 2x4x8 and when I first started I had plans to grow 4 plants. As I started setting up my system, 3 was a squeeze… As they grew, one got bullied out of the tent. IMO, if you’re growing in 5 gal pots, 2 plants will grow beautifully in there. If you try to squeeze in 3, you’ll notice there’s just not enough room.
Just trying to save you the headache I went through myself!
I have seen people grow 3 plants when growing in 3 gal pots to fill the canopy space. Two five gallon pots will easily fill the canopy available in a 2x4 tent and I think you’ll be very happy with what you can do with that space.

Trust me, you will get more from 2 happy plants that have space to grow well than 3 ladies who are pushing and fighting for their space, throwing shade on each other. I grow in 2 8-gallon hydro buckets in my tent and even then I still have a little trouble with space towards the end. I’m excited to watch your grow!
Welcome and for that size tent either 2 fem plants in five gallon pots or 3 autos in 3 gallon pots and looks like you are off to a good start I would think about ph up n down before u need it and air movement ie fans,and read a lot about soil before you buy good luck and happy growing

I plan on growing 2 White Widow autos in 5 gallon pots. I’m going to be using fox farm products. I’ll start with the Happy Frog and then when I transplant I’ll go to the ocean Forest. Does anybody see anything wrong with that?

Nothing wrong but you have to be careful when transplanting autos . I made that mistake once and almost lost a plant . They can be sensitive to stress .
