So I'm currently growing auto outside. Limited options. Renter. Space. Looking at whether inside is possible. What do people think of these, based on my limitations? Thanks https://amzn.asia/d/02hAGU9d
Poor man's lighting

You'd be better off buying a few 3000k left globes from Coles compared to one of those to be honest.
You can pick up 100w quantum boards on eBay for about $90. Better off grabbing something like that or just rigging up a few 14w led globes with the diffuser removed and a timer if you want to stay cheap.
Those are pretty much a waste of time.

sadly pretty much anything up to the task of flowering a plant out will need a frame. Any of those self supporting light bars or rings are more suited to succulents, microgreens or seedling as they usually have a stark spectrum and lack any power. To get adequate intensity and coverage out of those you'd need 3-4, and then you'd be spending more than a decent grow light and tent.
If its a 100 percent pre requisite that's about all you will be able to find when it comes to self supported lights, but you'd be way better off just making a frame and hanging a cheap quantum board.

You can't really cheap out on grow lights, they're the most important piece of equipment when it comes to indoor growing. My 2c would be to just afterpay a light and tent from mars. That's the cheapest I'd be going tbh, like the saying goes "buy cheap buy twice, buy once cry once"

They seem like they're okay
my Chinese quantum boards haven't gone up in flames yet so guess that bar style light could be ideal for some

Afterpay is a great tool for obtaining more expensive equipment. Just the fuckin timeline depending on when you're paid, if you're paid fortnightly that drags on for like 2 monthsYou can't really cheap out on grow lights, they're the most important piece of equipment when it comes to indoor growing.

Its pretty great the only bad thing is they've capped me at $3000 max. Probably a good thing though

I think they do increase it if you ask them but I don't really need it anyway but $6000 would be good. Never missed a payment either
