Are these any good

Just wondering if these cheap lights do the job,3x3ft tent so 4 plants max.

Garbage.

Trash... Plenty of better lights available for a 3x3. Search Migro on YouTube for best light for a 3x3. Want to say he had good things to say about Phlizon making a pretty good light.

Get a full spectrum light, it's easier on your eyes.

Garbage light.
Not only is the blurple light obsolete........it's only 100 watts.........not enough for one plant.

I'd suggest mars hydro if you want budget. The ts1000 150w would grow 1 plant in a 3 gallon fine. $100ish

Want 4 growing

are you set on led lights? metal halide and sodium are much cheaper and will grow you 4 plants under a 400 watt. 600w is better, you can get these ballasts with multiple settings for bulb brightnnesses, 250w,400w and 600w all on the same ballast. so you start them on 250w, then grow and flower on 400w and finnish off under 600w.
just worth thinking about if heat isnt an issue or you have extraction fans

That company make reasonable modern LEDs using white light and are not too bad on price.

Always look at the power draw and never trust the companies claims on what space they light up

Light budget will result in budget harvest. Or close enough.

The second time I got back into growing I picked up a mid tier light- under 500$ I thought I was happy. Then I picked up a a light just under $1000. Wow. I can't believe I paid that much but doing a side by side grow of the 2 lights and there is no comparison. I wouldn't go back.

I have even run the same autos strain on a 12hr schedule with the big light and 18hr on the small and get bigger yields from the plants under the bigger light at 12hrs.

I would really recommend saving up $100 or $200 more
