Good grow lights don't have to be expensive. I use this one and my lemon tree is very healthy and happy, and in full bloom right now. I have it on a timer for when it no longer gets direct morning sun until evening (11-8). Your lemon looks more like a nutrient deficiency, or maybe even a chemical burn.

My lemon tree seems to love this light. It starting blooming in December. About a month after I brought it indoors. It usually doesn't start blooming until February. I feel like it's the light.

I wouldn’t, I’d go with this: GE Grow LED Light Bulb, For Flowers and Fruit, Advanced Red Light Spectrum, Medium Base, PAR38 Bulb Shape (Pack of 1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NP1H25N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_NHG0Y95DFDREH8KVV0Q3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I really like this one, and my tree loves it. It's a pleasant level of light that isn't purple and it fits in a standard light fixture. I have it in my living room on a timer and you wouldn't know it's a grow light when it's on. Just a little brighter to the eye. My tree has flower buds all over it right now and the foliage is healthy. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NP1H25N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_G2m2FbKVEQY1J?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

This is a great grow light. It fits into a regular bulb socket and is a natural looking light. Not too bright and not off-color for a regular living space. I use it for my tree indoors.

I use this GE LED bulb in a north/northeast-facing room. It got my plants through the perpetually cloudy winter and helped me start garden seedlings indoors. I like that it can be used with standard floor lamps (as long as the shade is wide enough).

This is similar, and I would trust it more. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07NP1H25N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_m288FbZ416QRJ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1. 30 true watts, with some good side lighting might work

I use this one. It fits into a regular bulb socket and it isn't purple. It's like a regular light, only brighter. But not too bright to sit next to it in a living room.

Yes!! Works well with my grow tent check out the light 💡 im using GE Grow Lights

You’re welcome! I’m a lifelong student learning what I can about plants and so I enjoy sharing.

In fact I do have some recommendations for grow bulbs for individual plants.

A brief note: when shopping for grow lights, there are two numbers that you want to see listed—PPF and PPE. If I cannot find these numbers for a specific lamp, it’s a hard pass for me. You will often see other metrics listed as well (PAR, PPFD, lumens and more)…some of these are helpful (PAR), others not at all (lumens). Also, some people judge how good grow lights are by their wattage….also incorrect. If the product does not state PPF and PPE, the manufacturer could be intentionally obscuring these numbers because they’re not good, or they may not even know which is just as bad, or any number of reasons. PPF & PPE or bust.

Which is why I like these following bulbs. I have no brand loyalties in general, and no these aren’t perfect but, I like these bulbs because they’re simple and give the necessary info…like you I use them for individual large plants or small groups in odd corners etc of the room, where I couldn’t use a full grow light. These come in a range of wattages, here are links for the maximum watt you can get for these bulbs. But if you click around they sell smaller ones that cost less, but provide less light. If you can I would just spring for these 30-watt ish ones… If it’s too bright you can always raise the light. If it’s too dim you’re forced to add more lights…

Also because of how big monstera leaves are, you may consider going with a few slightly lower watt bulbs spaced a few inches instead of 1 single high power one…you’d get better uniformity of lighting across its leaf surface instead of a narrower point of intense light from a single big bulb.

GE Lighting PAR38 Grow Light Bulb — Red

these are pretty decent as a 2nd choice

One thing that irritates me about the GE one is the “red for flowering and fruiting” thing. This is a persistent myth from the indoor cannabis growing scene and has no bearing in reality…I have vegetative plants under these just fine. On the 2nd link, I have a bunch of the lower watt ones vs the larger ones FYI.

Go for the GE’s if you can

Yup, from Amazon!

For the strawberries - I bought a pH meter and electrolysis meter so I could dial in the pH and nutrient density. I tried different varieties, brands of nutrients, pump settings, etc. I eventually figured I would need a new growth medium or air stone, but after they brought aphids in I decided growing more peppers would just be easier.

What helped me was downloading a Light Meter app on my phone and using this chart. A lot of amazon lights can be weak, some need to be really close to the plant.

I use this (it's like a mini sun :)) :
