Hey y'all, looking for a cheap led light that will let me start my plants indoors, doesn't need to be anything big since they'll be there for a week or 2 max, after which they will be transferred outside. been looking at these led lamps that give me either 18 or 45 watts, full spectrum of light, timer and all that, question is, will that be enough? or should I look into something more powerful? cheers

I bought this for my kitchen-
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The original fixture had 4 tubes in it. When I converted to these I had to remove 2 tubes, to bright. They are grow room bright, but the spectrum may be lacking. For a few weeks for seedlings I think they would work. Let us know if you try it.Don't worry, be happy, grow sticky buds.

I have some 50W pink FS cobs and some 65w multi led 1 sq foot panels. Two of the 65w did an excellent job for one plant each in a 3x3x5 tent through veg. One works until they get a foot tall or so. Depends how bushy they are. Just Aliexpress nonames.
For about three years I used 3-100 w cobs I rigged up on a heat sink. Cheap as can be at about $5 each.

Those are a crap tonne of light just for seedlings, you don’t need all that.
These are pretty well know for seedlings clones , I have three 24” LEDfor sprouts and micro greens. Work great.
