No. I use the same stuff a nursery uses. And it seems to be the way to go. Perfect size. Easy to handle. Square is better than round. Easier to arrange. I get like 3 or 4 uses out of fabric max. And the plastic pots last for years.

Your only going to tweak the light schedule between growing auto flowers or photos. And maybe not even then.

So besides media choice and chems what other variables are there to change?

Ok if you could post a picture of the pot that would be helpful ,if not I’ll probably go with a square one w holes at the bottom and a couple drain pans to go w it.

Daily light integral. If you like adjusting things grow to grow this would be one.

And light spectrum. Like adding uv or far red during different parts of the life cycle.

I guess the biggest difference is COB has better canopy penetration at a reduced canopy coverage, whilst QB has a better canopy coverage with a reduced penetration. Just from what I’ve read .. I’m sure you guys know more

What do you prefer personally I’ll probably do both just to experiment and share results.

Qb might also be more efficient. I don't see many reviews cobs these days. You should checkout migro on YouTube. He tests everything and gives a breakdown.

That’s probably something I need to look at huh? I really was only looking at coverage numbers but if I was to guess about 800 to 1000, also what do you feel about dimmable lights vs switching on and off the flowering and veg lights, if that makes since

If it's a true 700w drawn then ya.

I am running about 40w a sf during my flower. I have 60w available but can't really use it in my current setup.
