Cobs?

Will a cob shop light grow autos. They are very bright and much cheaper than leds for the growers market.

There might be a reason why they are cheaper than actual grow lights such as spectrum, durability n stuff. If you’re on a budget there’s mars hydro TS lights

@olaru12Welcome to AFN Yes COBs will grow cannabis Photo or Autos. I like autocobs for secondary or additional lamps. If these are your first lights I would go with fixtures with more red and blue available. Really it is all about your budget. @Marshydro and @Les @HLG have several entry level lights and they are a members here as well as @BigSm0 and his Autocobs.

COBs are good lights and make great secondary lighting or for an individual plant. Cost wise no, there isn't really much savings after buying the COB, a heatsink, a power supply, a power cord and a means to hang it. And they have they are not as efficient as Qauntum boards.
You can get a 135 watt QB288 kit for $168.00 from HLG that will out produce a pair of cobs.

I use an HLG quantum in my tent, but need some additional light in my window boxes to give the girls a dose of 18/6 as they only get 8hrs of full sun.

TY everyone...
