Just saying I'm going with the timber 200watt vero29 with the frame work I'll use em for full cycle except seedlings for the first week or two I'll use t5 than place them under the cob....im handy with tools but very little free time that's why Imma just buy the kit with frame work....ill do two plants my first run going to do a quick first run 3 week veg with some BlackBerry haze seeds I have from a buddy (not feminized) during that grow I'll order some fems....

ya man,, excellant choice,, thier frames are already drilled and this thing is just bolt together,,, and YES these lights will grow from start to finish in veg and flower,, i have used my 3000k cobs the whole ride, and now i have a 4000k citizen cob panel that i am doing a start to finish grow with,, you cant go wrong, with them all wire up,, just put a few bolts in the frame,, and plug it in,, your going to be so happy

However you feel will benefit your situation best, there's more than one way to get there. As I stated earlier, lots of people will start with something less than perfect and build on it as they go. You can do 2 now and 2 later to get to a square set up.

@Tim Fox do you think that the timber kits are a better value than say the vero 29 kit from rapid?

Having built a few lights, I feel like the frame is the most time consuming part. The vero 29 kit from rapid is $220 with options to run at 1400ma or 2100ma, and upgrading to se would make it solderless. After the upgrade, adding fan, and power supply for fan, op could grab 2 of these for about the $500 he has to spend. Personally, I'd like to see the cobs spread out a bit more. But putting 500 watts in a 3x3 for $1/watt is a damn good deal.

oh yes,, there are many options for people,, i got into cobs before there were any kits,, heck there wasnt even cob holders back then,, we had to use pC heat sinks,, and drill and tap our own holes,, it was the wild west,,, but many people just dont want to have to figure it out,, or do the drilling and cutting,, i dont blame them,, some people dont have work shops,, or power tools,, an dits just eaiser to buy something thats ready to put together,, i think that is the appeal of so many of the blurple china panels is guys can just plug them in,, but these cobs BLOW away those blurple panels,, and you wont have to buy another light until your old and gray with these cob panels, i think he is making a good choice,,
but i think all the cobs ar a great deal, if you can do some of the work,, you can save a few bucks yes,, or make it a size that is more fitting to your space

lets see i have done 4 runs thru the box since Oregon went legal, first run was 2 plants made mistakes, got only 3 ounces, second run learned more I did a 2 plant scrog but under only 2 cobs at 100 watts,, those 100 watts gave me 5.5 ounces dry,, 3rd run, i moved up to 4 cobs and ran 3 plants was crowded but yeilde 8 ounces,, and this past grow i moved to 4K citi cobs running 250 watts at the wall, and 2 plant scrog yeilded 11 ounces,, i feel this is the max the box can make, and like you its plenty since my wife doesnt smoke and i use it just for me,, wanna come over,, lol

I moved from Maine to Arkansas....(big mistake on the weed side) Oregon from here is like 26 hours lol I'm partial to fabric grow bags less hurt on the root system i started off using 5 gallon plastic pots than went to 7 gallon fabric bags under the same conditions same strain nutes and lights I noticed much faster growth yielded about the same maybe a bit more plants seemed happier
