I'm really interested in growing my indoor plants using grow lights, but I'm concerned about the costs. A friend of mine who studied agriculture told me that it might be too expensive to start this hobby. I'm looking for advice on whether it's feasible to grow plants this way without breaking the bank and what brands of grow lights are recommended. Any insights?

You can definitely get started without spending a lot! I found some decent grow lights on Amazon for around $25-$30. It’s all about starting small and then upgrading as you learn more about your plants' needs. Don’t let your friend discourage you—lots of hobbies can get pricey, but you can find a balance by choosing the right lights.
I recommend checking out Sansi—they're a good value for the quality. It's all about what works best for your setup, but I've had success with Barrina LED lights and some GE grow bulbs too. Just make sure you buy from brands that list the specs, as that info will help you pick the right lights for your plants. Full spectrum lights are usually a safe choice, but there are different types depending on what you’re growing. Don't skimp on quality too much though; cheap lights can end up costing you more in the long run!
Totally! If you’re just starting out, Sansi is great. Their grow lights are really good for beginners, especially if you're not sure how many lights you need right away.
