Hey, Big smo, where did you get the holder for the heatsink? Looks very clean on your 80/20!
Thanx tstat for the quick reply.. I'm thinking bout pulling the trigger on 1 of these things.. are u flowering with them or vegging ?
Nice !! Do you keep a journal ? I'm a geek I like reading.. lol but just bout growing
You dont need grow pics/results from just Timber lights. Timber utilizes the same tech other companies (and more often than not DIY'ers) do. Their efficiency and components are the same as many documented grows. Check out some of those.
Can check my sig for my journal. I have the 300w 4 cob kit. Grow is not finished yet, only about half way through flower but I have no complaints. Buds are thick and full of trichomes would recommend for sure..
I'm with you on the think to much part.. I'm trying to decide myself lol these are a large investment for noob to the growing scene like myself..
In so far as growing is concerned, it's one of if not the most important consideration. That said, how much of a difference is a couple of inches going to make anyway? I'm just looking for a consensus from those more experienced than I am.
Yes that's the direction I'm going however I have other considerations for the small space and I'm wondering if it could be, for instance, 15" x 15" or 13" x 13" without sacrificing light spread or creating hot spots at a distance of 12" above the screen. I have a fan filter combo that can't be outside the box and need space for that too. I'd like to be able to bring the light up as far as possible so that's the reason for the question. Thanks!
How much vertical space are you working with? My 3x3 is 6ft tall but with the plant I have in there now I could have gone way more compact. If you have room to work with, add the height of your filter setup on top of where you want your lights to sit at max height + a couple inches. You could DIY yourself a frame that would hold your lights and fan/filter as one unit or a couple smaller 2cob bars to fit on either side of the filter...I'm not sure how else to get the lights up higher than the filter in a square box.
Well, I think it's just that I need to construct the light in such a way that it takes the fan/filter into account is all. As I've sketched it out, it looks like I've got about 16" of horizontal space at the very top of the box. I think the heatsinks are about 3" tall but I'm not going to get the fixture up to the top of the box. From the bottom of the fan filter I've got about 19" of space to work to the screen which should be plenty of grow room. I don't think each bud will get to 10" tall so again....I'm probably just overthinking it.
