Timber Grow lights... Tell Dan Bob Brown sent you ask for discount...hahaha..
3500k yes and are the latest greatest, they are very efficient.
I got the 3 Vero29s already assembled - it was $50 more to get assembled version. This is a 400watt lamp not 300 sorry!
Here's the link:
http://timbergrowlights.com/400-watt-vero29-v7-linear-framework/
Like I said yeah they are very nice... lower down buddage fans have rails ... rails to the soil line from 6' off ground.. 15" from tops of plants. Dan at Timber has this dialed in with science bro no BS.
On the organic deal, re;
"Running organic is a little different because nutrient spikes and top dressing can only go so far."
I don't use spikes and top dress only at flip which is when I transplant... gets more soil due to lager pot. I actually re-cycle my soil. I run organic soil home made "Coots" style (recipe).
Been running it for years. I don't spend any money on "nutrients" .... build my own vermi-compost.. get base nutrients in bulk for pennies/lb. The most expensive thing is Pearl-lite @ $35 for a 3 cu. ft. bag (fits in a trash can). I just mixed up 6ish cubic feet of soil.... with all organic amendments that last the whole run + , probably cost me $15....
Yields:
I will get usually 4 zips dry per plant if it's a heavy yielder like the Kimbo I got 8 zips per plant dried but they were monsters like 2x the size of The Future I pictured.
Here's my Kimbo from last fall... these were big yielders and fire!

What's the smell like of these ?
I run a lot of Exotic gear and same as Tex transplant into final containers at flip for same reasons... once into 7-10 gal pots they are too heavy to move and my VEG room and flower room are in different locations. I would prefer to VEG in final containers and sometimes do but it's a pain in the ass to move a 2' tall plant in a 10gal container.. I grow in 100% organic soil so a 10gal pot is like 80-90#s... plus a plant.
I VEG in #2 nursery pots and transplant at 15" and into flower. My last run of Kimbo they were right up the lights (LEDs) at harvest time and I have a 7.5" ceiling as well.
Tex - try the VERO29 cobs... I just bought 2 sets of 3 and am running them now getting HUGE frost on my The Future run. 3 of the VERO 29s are like 300watts, I just ordered 2 more sets of 3 each.
The Future - under Vero29 COBs 55 days-ish current

Agreed, if you have the time let them Kimbos run around 8 weeks veg and you will not be disappointed!!!! Just my .2 centsLooking good. Let me ask you a question if I may please? Why transplant these gals and then immediately flip?
This is just my opinion...but I urge you to at least wait a week. Let the plants spend their time growing roots in their new homes..then when you flip she can you their all.
Dang kid aint got a humble bone in him. LOL!!!!Agreed :cry:
Hey there Bobrown, I'm curious how you are running those lights? What spacing for the linear rails? How high of the canopy?
Very nice info Bob. Awesome to hear about the new veros. I think I will pick one up for my next flower light.Right now I've got 1 300 watt Vero29 cob - 3 cobs per rail set at about 15" from top of plants... getting full penetration to the soil line.
I've got another Vero29 I'm using in VEG turned down about 1/2 power. There's a potentiometer on the power supply to turn up and down the amount of voltage going to the COBs.
Once I get the next 2 I will likely have all 3 in flower room spaced about 24-30" apart. should give me a 4' x 6' footprint maybe a little more.. we will see once I get the new ones. They are ordered just waiting for them to show up.
I may order another one ... not sure yet. The lamp in VEG is really showing what the light can do. My VEG plants are growing BIG fast too... that will pay for itself just in VEG for sure. No more waiting 45 days... probably going to cut VEG time down and grow much larger plants in flower too! win win
I'll get more pics once set up for ya.
Can't wait to see the phenos. I ran 1 pack of kimbo and found this
The younger plant is day 25 but look at the stacks on it
I got this pack from the cannabis cup last year. So I would assume F1Looking good. Is this the Kimbo f1 pack or f2?
Awesome man. I like what I see, lol. :fire:Can't wait to see the phenos. I ran 1 pack of kimbo and found this

Make sure you defoliate around 21-28 days. The fan leaves grow into each other and promote PM pretty regularlyAwesome man. I like what I see, lol. :fire:
Here the girls are @ day 16. the #5 has surpassed the tomato cage and #3 and #2 are right at the top too. The #1 is growing wide and all are putting on lots of bud sites now...

Still can't believe this is from popping 5 seeds. I'm going to germ the other 6 soon...
They are digging their coco home and needing watering almost every day now.
Good tip man. These girls do have massive leaves that will shade lower growth too. Luckily they are right by the dehuey and plucking leaves so hopefully no pm...Make sure you defoliate around 21-28 days. The fan leaves grow into each other and promote PM pretty regularly
Tex - nice looking batch of ladies there. Great job.....
Good to see someone doing organic growing. You know you can make your own microbe teas right?? Handful of soil into a bucket of water and an air stone, in 24 hrs done an done ... for the Mammouth-P you can add a 1/2 cup of alfalfa meal, and it you really want to boost things up, grind up an ounce of malted barley and add it into the bucket. Going to be a lot cheaper and likely more effective.
Your on the right track for sure. Towards the end that berry will turn into of a more raspberry kush smell. Kimbo is an absolute terp factory. EnjoyKimbo Gals frosting up nicely. Day 23. All of them are showing mass frost and 2 are smelling very berry.
