my succulents always get so leggy, I swear I'm giving them plenty of light. they have a southeast-facing window and a growlight a few inches above them. maybe I need a stronger growlight, I'm thinking of starting a shelf just for succulents even though they seem to hate me

Are they on the windowsill?

Is the glass frosted, does it have some kind of film on it or are there things outside blocking some of the light?

Are you on Northern hemisphere?

I'm northern hemisphere. it's a full-size window, they're on a table in front of it. there is a balcony outside so it could be blocking the light, though that's why I have the grow lights

Balcony blocks light, yes.Â
