Reddit mentions of LED Grow Lights, Full Spectrum Panel Grow Lamp with IR & UV LED Plant Lights for Indoor Plants,Micro Greens,Clones,Succulents,Seedlings

Most of the info you'll find online for indoor grow bulbs will partain to pot (weed) growing. If it's legal where you are, I say go for it but ordering lights off of some sights can get you on a list of sorts that maybe you don't want to be on lol.

These are fairly cheap cfl's and I reccomend these types over the longer larger u shaped tube cfls. https://www.amazon.com/Hydroponic-Full-Spectrum-Light-5500K/dp/B005P29K1S

I say this because I've not had good luck or life span out of the others, but with smaller ones like these I've had great success.

But here's some L.E.D. types that you may be able to afford that last much longer

These links ought to get you started at looking at some options. Hell, I just was super shocked at how much the price tags have gone down in the last 3 years since I bought some for myself! Lol... Now I'm gonna have to do some reinvesting also!

I have it on a lamp timer, it comes on at 6am and turns off at 10pm.

This is the light - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FKF6BT4

Its a little flimsy, but it seems to work well enough.

Thanks for the detailed response! So if my understanding is correct if I went with potting soil in a small pot would I use the hydroponic nutrients instead of water when "watering" or use both? Would that then replace the need for fertilizer as well? As for lighting would a cheap grow light like this work? After a fair amount of research I am still unsure about what would be a good grow light for the plant on a budget.

I believe it is similar to this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FKF6BT4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_E44VDbR9Z4VS4

I'm using these, I have four set up. I've grow lophophora under it from seed.

Maybe not quite what you are looking for, but I wanted to expand my MiracleGro Aerogarden, so I specced out what it would take to build my own, and its fairly cheap. The only functionality I lose is the auto turn on/off light. I was growing Thai Basil, Italian Basil, Dill, Thyme, Parsley. Best part is it grows indoors, year round.

I add water every 3-4 days, and nutrient every 2 weeks.
