COB means Chip on Board type of LED light, biotabs are fertilizer tablets, I believe there is a subforum for them under the vendors list

"In COB lighting, single LED chips are placed directly on a circuit board (or substrate) which has thermal properties to disperse heat. Heat dissipation is a very important aspect of LED lighting because it can have a major impact on the life expectancy of the luminaire. Traditional LED chips are not placed directly on the substrate and therefore there is greater thermal resistance. As a result of improved heat dissipation, COB lights can have a higher LED chip density and therefore achieve higher light levels while maintaining or improving life expectancy. COB downlights and spotlights are characterised by the yellow chip (package) visible inside the reflector. Sometimes a diffuser or cover is placed on the light to hide the COB chip."

@Samwell got you answered on both questions. Just Biotabs aren't available to anyone in the US. Not sure if things will change in the future. But there is the Mephisto super soil amendment which is pretty close and you can grow with water only.
