Looking for grow light recommendations

I got a 32x32x63” tent. It’s my first grow so still kind of experimenting. I just realized my current lights are like 10% of the light I need. Looking for something that will be low heat/energy usage but will be bright enough to get my plant really going. LED is preferable due to the above mentioned factors. I just haven’t been able to find a reliable company that’s reasonably priced. Some help please

Hlg is the website you should check out.
Diy kits are a great deal and they are easy to assemble.
There ready to hang fixture's are great as well.

Any recommendation on size/wattage that would be sufficient? I only have one plant flowering at a time.

Just build one out of EB Gen 2 strips. Driver, wiring, and wagos. Pretty much it.

Little angle aluminum just to build a rectangle to mount the strip ends onto. Few nuts and volts, 24" pieces of U Channel if wanting to heatsink the strips

You got a link to website to get all the ingredients? I’m looking for something relatively easy to assemble. Also looking not to spend more than like $250

Spider Farmer sf-1000 or sf-2000. I use the sf-4000 and am very happy with it, but I have a larger space with 5 plants. Price is right, quality is great.

You'll have to build for a 3x3 to be kit well at $250. Buy can easily be done. Just get to 300watts.

No... He can't use that. That's meant to be used when you can hang up really high. Not in s small 32x32" tent.

For not more then 250 you could do strips, or get a hlg-320h-c2800a & a 4 pack of hlg qb120 and you are off the the races with 25 ft of wire

Went ahead and purchased a sf 1000 from spider farmer. Going to use it in conjunction with the lights I already have. Hopefully I’ll get better results than I am currently
