I'm watching lax's cob grow to see how that goes but they'll need to come down a lot in price before I swap.
I used autopots for a couple of years before I switched to NFT. Fungus gnats put me off them though. They've stopped making gnat off too which killed the little fuckers quick.

I use the maxibright dimable ones. You can only go down as far as 400w unless you buy a 400w bulb and turn that down to 250 but I don't know why you'd want go lower than 600 though. Unless Youve got heat issues.
You can boost them to 660w too.

COBs/LEDs have a crap footprint and they cost far too much money.

The light efficiency is actually the same or worse than good quality HID's.

When COBS/LEDs can produce the same raw output across the board as HIDs and for the same price then they'll be viable, until then they're not even remotely in the same ball park.

You pay 3-5 times more money per photon of light for COBs/LEDs than decent HIDs and get shittier distribution.
It makes no sense.



1000w Gavitas are still objectively the best bang for your buck.

Heya mate, just a quick heads up that you might wanna bin the SD, looking like well over 11 wks and not the biggest yielder etc
