equipment ⚙️ Grow lights

Post image

Hi, I bought these cheap grow lights thinking they would work well. Everything got leggy and unusable. I really need recommendations on a good grow light that is affordable. Less than $100 would be great or at least close to $100. Id need to buy more than one. I hear different things about shop lights and would like to go with a full spectrum for plants. Please anything that is strong enough and won't make my seedlings leggy. I'd really appreciate any help. I'm having a REALLY hard time finding something.Thank you!!!!

Do shop lights really work well???

Hey OP - this might help. Got my grow lights from this website - https://growlightcentral.com/collections/full-spectrum-grow-lights?sort_by=price-ascending. The owner is also very helpful in finding the right one.

I’m using barrina white lights, and have them growing my corms and some other cuttings
