I have a question (newbie here)… are there different grow lights for different plants or are all the grow lights the same?  
Sorry if this is a dumb question. I have just started getting into plants and I want to take in as much as I can.

That’s not a dumb question at all! There are different types of grow lights, but you honestly can’t go wrong with a full spectrum light for most houseplants. Don’t worry about different wavelengths right now, especially since you’re just starting out! The brand Sansi sells some really good ones that are relatively cheap. You can buy them on Amazon! Lmk if you have any other questions (:

There are some great charts online that give you recommendations on lux/lumen/foot candle for different genus. That way you can get a better idea if the light is too strong/weak

I don’t like the cheap strip lights! I love Sansi bulbs and the clip lights are great and only $15 😁
