 Light or grow tent first

Hey guys so I jumped into this hobby on a whim and wasn't fully prepared before I started my fault 100%. Right now I have 3 plants about 5 weeks in a foil lined box with two dome style lights with Sylvania 30w led grow lights in them. None of this is ideal I know. So now I have enough $ to buy a decent light $100-150 or a grow tent 4×2 for close to same price. Which should I get first light or tent. Won't flower for at least 2 months. Using fox farms organics soil and fox farm 3 pack nutes and some high mountain gold compost they are in 2.5 gal BB uckets so first purchase light or tent. Thanks for any advice.

I'd say the light is probably more important, though if you don't have a tent come flowering time you may find it hard to control light leaks.
You will also need a ventilation fan pulling fresh air through the tent once you set it up. You can keep the doors open for ventilation during veg, but once you hit flower you need to close up the tent at night and humidity levels will spike without fresh air coming in. AC infinity makes temperature and humidity controllers for their fans, which can make things easier.

Cool man thanks that is what I was leaning towards. I'll be able to get a tent in about 3 weeks so I should be alright cause I should have another 2 months or so of veg I'd think

I say it depends on your priorities. Whats higher priority, privacy or veg strength? Your plants will be OK if you get a better light and keep vegging how you are.
As mentioned you dont really NEED tent until flowering
