Just finished up the flower room. Going to veg for a few more weeks yet.

COBS are great, but they are a massive fire hazard if they fall.
Used to light my cigarettes with just the light beam when I still used to smoke...

Noted. I will ensure they can never fall. Thanks for the info.

Do you know that’s the first time I can think of that someone has mentioned this? I mean seems obvious but I can see how people would overlook this when comparing the 2 for purchase. Great honest feedback to add for anyone looking at these 2 options

I would only use them over a bare concrete floor.

Thats a lot of cobs...lol
How big is your flowering area?

 

[ANC]

Not that big... there was I think 18 bars with 3 cobs each.
Each of those bars has a 240W driver on.

I farm smaller now...
