i dont have one but from all the research i have done, i'm going through them once i can get the missus to approve lol... if you want to learn up on them check out @Growmau5 you tube vids.... basically what timber is putting together but you don't have to source everything... cost is very comparable to diying in imo as well

Yeah lol @Growmau5 is who I was watching on YouTube but I don't think I want the headache of building it myself and I remember seeing the same light on timber that he is building so I'm just gonna go ahead and buy it fully assembled for the next run

Would 1 be enough for a 2x4 with 4 plants? Thanks

About a pound for 400w actual. So great! Timber dans cobs did better even spread out to about 15" per cobs for 32w per sqft where the SS 550 were at 37.5w per sq ft. So burple does work for sure...... the grower doing the grow had only used HID before and is positive he got much better quality and bud than he gets with hid with both timber grow lights and the SS 550. This next run I'm gonna do a pure side by side of timber grow lights vs CLW SS 550.
My final thoughts are that light is light so go with is the most efficient....which are cobs. Or the new quantum boards.

It is good. I'd pull the trigger as soon as you get final approval. Once you get more familiar with cobs, you can add more if you like

Actually to think more about it. 1 4 cob light would be fine for 4 plants......have each cob over top of your 1-4 top plants and you'll get some fat ass colas. Don't top/fim much more than 1-4 tops per plant and lollipop everything. You should get good results.

Everyone has an opinion, so I'm saying 200w in a 2x4 is the bare minimum. On the Timber site it says PPF of 490 for the 200w fixture, so dividing that by 8 (8 square feet) is a PPF per foot of 61. Then multiply that by 10.7 (square feet in a square meter) and you get a PPFD of 655.
That is all I've grown in is a 2x4 cabinet, and I get the best results with 250-300 watts of Vero 29s. So my 2 cents worth is go for the 300 watt fixture.

8sf you need 400w at a minimum that would be two bars

Captain Morgan was pulling about 2gpw running sub 700ppfd. So......for starters it's fine but not optimal...... 300w kit would be great.

Thanks big homie lol yeah when I asked you that I had in mind of like trying to put 1plant under each cob and seeing how that turned out but then you said you didn't think so then I thought about just 2plants but Now that you have thought about it I'll run 4

+1
300W, or two of the 200W kits. If the money's tight, buy a 200W kit and immediately start saving for another. Don't short change yourself! You'll never regret having a little bit more light than you need.
