Are Cob lights ideal for veg and flower?

My eyes work just fine man. You are the one in denial about the graphs as I've clearly shown you don't understand them.

Here is a pic from the back of the box that I'm holding right now. Not some shitty out of focus graph.

Do I need to pull out the ruler?

Man you are so far in denial its sad, you even posted a graph showing less than 5% at the beginning of the far red spectrum and zero past that. Those lights lack in that spectrum and in UV light as well. If you want a light that has those things either buy an amare or supplement your DIY with those spectrums.

lol I am growing plants under cobs right now, I been using them longer than you been growing...and I also use hps and mh lights what do you know?

Lol I doubt you've been using them that long since they weren't yet invented, but nice try hahahahaha.

I was just going by your comment that was all. Fair enough you don't like COB bud, but I am pretty happy with mine and so are most people here. Oh well, you can't please everybody eh. As it goes I'm looking for extra UV and Far Red too, but that is not to say I'm not happy with my bud as is... it's more that I'm just always looking to try and improve in the search for perfection.

I thought COB's didn't have any Far Red in their spectrum........

Yodaweed said:

...they have no UV light and no far red light both of which are vital to growing top quality buds.

Sorry, who is in denial??

Edit: According to the charts I posted, 3000K 80 CRI has about 12-13% at the beginning of the Far Red spectrum (710nm according to wikipedia) and dwindles down to about 7% around the 740nm wavelength range. Most plants don't photosynthesize past 750nm. Higher relative energy at those wavelengths than any HPS spectrum posted.
