Hey scrog I’m interested in your thoughts of the 24SAMS I’m going to be looking at a light upgrade in the near future and an in a 4x4 tent! Going to be fun!
Seems to be a little action in the cloner. Still need 2 more to fill the rdwc. My 24SAMS from Timber have cleared customs, should get them in a couple of days.
Until now I've been using two 400 watt MH/HPS cooltube lights (side by side) to grow with. While I'm waiting for my two Timber 24SAMS to arrive I thought I'd build a grid to test the ppfd of both the MH/HPS and the LED's. My scrog area is 36" x 36" and I'll test at 24", 18" and 12" heights with both lights.
Today, before I removed the MH/HPS lights I tested them with the lights centered over the grid I built. Turns out that at 24" above, these lights running together would be a poor choice all the way around. At 18" above they would be adequate over the center 1 sq/ft. and diminish moving out from there. At 12" above they seem to be good in the 1 sq/ft area, adequate in the 2 sq/ft area and again poor in the 3 sq/ft area. Heres the results I observed.
My Timber lights have shipped and should be at Canadian customs today. Hopefully they'll be delivered next week and I'll test them in the same conditions and report the results again. I'm hoping for big improvements with the Timber lights.
Starting to gut the tent in preparation for the new lights. I moved one of the 400 watt MH/HPS lights back under the stairs and put the cloner in there with it. Lol, I never thought I'd be growing under there again.
Look closely at the brand name of this cloner, should you ever have the urge to buy yourself one just shoot yourself instead. Its a piece of shit. I'm going to throw away the water pump that came with it and put in an airstone and see if that helps.

My Lights from Timber Grow Lights arrived today. I bought two sets of the 24SAMS lights. Its a total of four Samsung QB288 boards with a total of 1152 diodes at 3000k. Each set (two boards) is powered by a Mean Well 240H-C2100B driver. Each has a dimmable 10% to 100% potentiometer.
The lights are set up and everything is mounted and connected. I've had a chance to play and make note of a few things but I haven't tested ppfd yet, tomorrows job. I'll post those results tomorrow but till then heres a few early observation I've noticed.
- Well packaged for shipping, used a sturdy box and a ton of bubble wrap, packed tightly.
- Quality of materials is excellent, heavy frame and a nice heat sinks with lots of surface area.
- Nice job on all the wiring and assembling, its what I expected from Timber.
- After one hour at full power, the boards were 54 ⁰ C (129 ⁰ F).
- I have 10 inches more head room with these lights, thats big to me.
More tomorrow after I've had a chance to test.
