This is just the beginning. I really appreciate you all coming along for the ride. If you have any suggestions for topics to highlight in this series, please leave a comment. [POTENTIAL SEIZURE WARNING 2:45 ] FYI.
Please please do something innovative for us high ceiling growers. I've got 12ft and besides my one attempt at a stacked grow like your old veg bathtub IDK what to do with it. Sidelight and suuuper tall trees?
My tuppence on points to cover, maybe worth it, maybe not? Going in depth on the planning with explanations on your reasoning and how it could apply in other scenarios could help folk in the planning stages (like you do with cobs etc). Too many skip it or spend too long and don't account for the future! Optimisation of space while allowing walkways, possibly vertical stacking given your height? Even vert stacking mother, clone and veg spaces can free acres of room (it's what I do) Another point on vert stacking is that drying spaces don't need to be big and with a bit of thought can be in the same room allowing easier odor control if needed (and fits perfect with my own vertical stacking) Sealing and venting of the area, Inc prevention of moisture affecting your houses structure over the longer term, again something not often considered but costly if it affects you. And maybe thoughts on venting via an ozone generator etc for 'discrete' grows. Thoughts on lung rooms or closets as part of the ventilation, pros and cons here. Air inlet filtration to prevent creepy crawlies getting in, I use panel filters for cars. Cheap, easy to get and work a treat. A few scraps of wood (or anything really) can make a nice holder where the filters slide in from the top for easy cleaning and changing Separation of the space for different light cycles etc even if its not in your plan, a few minutes on blender or some such to show simple models will be plenty tbf Importance of time saving things like having a faucet and a drain available in the room as an example, a small potting area with tool storage and spares storage etc and how important this can be when shit hits the fan aswell as the time savings involved Throw in thoughts for upcycling or recycling things for use in the grow room as not everyone can go new for everything, a whole room gets costly quick lol If you're doing more automation perhaps that can be a follow up series or finisher to the series? Sound control, again for the discrete growers or people in the next room even, grow spaces can get loud if you let them. Option of having all high voltage wiring and drivers in their own dedicated space, perhaps external to the room and the pros/cons (although I reckon you're gonna do that anyway tbf) I'll edit if I think of more
A note on lung rooms or closets I didn't include above (sorry been smoking 😁) Draw air in at chest to face height and you'll be able to see the filters for easy checking. The airs also warmer there helping to avoid condensation (sometimes). You can also preheat air entering the grow space or better draw it in from the house and its warm plus loaded with CO², the typical home has higher CO² levels than outdoors 😉 We all love spending time with the girls man but I think highlighting the importance of time saving measures and energy saving measures is pretty important. More time we save more we can spend doing the shit we enjoy. Look forward to the rest of the series
Hey buddy when. You set up your 110volt do a minimum of two runs one with a light switch or both this way when you go into film or do foliar sprays you can easily shut all the fans off without having to climb over anything I set this up in my new room at it has saved me alot of headaches
Yay!!! My favorite RUclips grower is back, and he’s covering my favorite subject too! Grow room build outs! You have the best rooms man, I always try and build mine out clean and stealth like that, but then they turn out looking like something Homer Simpson built, lol.
It's amazing how much thought, effort and professionalism you put into everything you do. Wish I could be like that. I just do enough to say "good enough..." lol.
I prefer to use white ACE silicon roofing coating as paint. Provides a sealed coat with UV reflectance and at less than 100$ for 5 gallons its cheaper than most paint i find. Wear respirator and tyvek though. Thanks again for saving me several thousands each year Sir!
what a great suggestion, I actually bought a gallon of siliconized roof coating. My intention was to test it on a spare panel first. I ended up going with a standard latex enamel, but I will show & mention this in the next video on : Coatings. Cheers Holy Smokes & thanks for the great comment!
Hey Steve, to be honest , it kinda pained me NOT to use hemp insulation for this grow. I probably could have found the budget for it at $2.40 a sqft for 2x6 R21. I went the lower cost route with this fiberglass at a little more than 1/2 the cost. It was the difference between $70 vs $120 for the hemp. I am planning a follow up video with viewer/commenter suggestions & I will be sure to mention this amazing suggestion . cheers and thanks for checking out the video!.
Can we just call you JesusMau5, seriously. This is going to be so sick and giving me some great idea. I missed the DISCLAIMER flash so expect a phone call if something doesn’t work out. As I assume you assume full responsibility. Can’t wait to follow you on this journey and hopefully step my game up along the way.
Let me guess, the spare bedroom is becoming a giant wardrobe, closet, dressing area? lolol. It aint so bad, the shed is one of the last places where a man can be a man :)
I really appreciate it Woody! Thanks for hanging in there over this last year or so, and thanks for always coming thru to support me & this channel, among others!
Thank God....The wait was worth it! Little short, but a great vid.... Hopefully the editing and time the vids take, won't kill your enthusiasm to make more......We know you are busy but hopefully we can say 'The mau5 is back!'
Thumbed prior to watching. I do not regret my decision. Thanks for sharing not only the specs, but the thought process you're going through. Stoked for this series and seeing you grow again!
This is VERY relevant to me right now. Got to get going on a build to go with my two, one brand new Royal Blue, chilled logic pucks... 👍. Thank you!! ✌️❤️😁
Great to see ya back, and the electrical advice. Tip for folks on mold, bleach doesn't kill it. It just removes what you can see, use distilled white vinegar as it kills the mold and is cheap. The follow up with the mold product was a wise move Mr Mau5 👍 As was the forward planning and too many folk either procrastinate too long on it or don't give it enough thought. I'm sure this series will be pro finish like all the other great vids you have
My boy back missed you been watching since way back when you and greengenes were doing shows you got me into growing with cobs then eventually into quantum boards
Smh my fault playa patna smh been watching your videos for months built my own 500 watt led for $270 with a RIDICULOUS 1200 ppfd @18in of your knowledge. And I'm just subbing today🤭🤦♂. My apologies papi chulo 🤣🤣🤣
@growmau5 dude you cant get these vids up fast enough. i wanna watch em all now!!!!!! You ve definitely made me mau5keteer ! keep up the good work broski!
I can't wait to follow these vids. I love your vids and knowledge growmau5. I also need some chilled logic pucks so this will help me because I'm new to LED. I really appreciate you and thanks for sharing.
Is that t5 your grow light? Haha. Welcome back man, always enjoy your videos. Looking forward to seeing more new content. Now just have to get pro grow started up again.
Hi Dude , I'm from Brazil and one of your new followers , thanks for the videos , I'm finalizing my First grow tent , and my light will be, 5 CLU048 and 4 CXA 2530 on a hlg240 and an elg100 for a 3x3 space, I think will be more than enough , thanks for the inspiration and the knowledge, Welcome back Bro
Hey Ju, I think you are right on the money! I figure you want about 350-400w per square meter, and you nailed it perfectly. Since you have (9) COBs, a little pro tip is to wire it so that your four outside corner COBs can be run (or adjusted/dimmed) to be a little more powerful than the central cobs. This way, you avoid light (PAR) drop off at the edges. If you are in a tent, you probably don't need to worry about this idea. Reflectivity should take care making the lighting even. Anyways, good luck with the build and Muito obrigado!
@@GrowMau5 Thanks for the tip , yes I'll be in a tent 3x3(80x80x1'80cm) , I divided them into three bars with three cob's in each , in a fixture of 73x73cm , on the sides with two clu048 (3500k)at the edges and the cxa2530(3000k) in the middle , and the central bar did the opposite, and both drivers are dimmable , I did the best I could with what was available here in Brazil, once again( eu que agradeço a você).
That's awesome Elliott, hopefully there are some useful bits in this series for you. And perhaps some of the money I wasted on stuff will end up saving you $$$. I'll show some "what I would have done differently" clips in vol. 2
It's a good point Tim, Amazon has basically crushed the Grow Shop, it almost depressing to go into one. As for the herb, I've seen some flagrant, unspeakable things in these commercial grows. For me personally, I want to know EXACTLY what is going into my body & lungs. For me, buying herb grown by some hourly employee at a commercial OP , then inhaling it seems a tad silly. Thanks for the comment, cheers & respect.
this is another level, like a real Pro . I love all your ideas. Very few have provided so many details to help others thanks you for sharing all this knowledge men this is another level 👏👍🏻 I can’t wait to make my garden like this 😎😎😎
Glad to see you back! You probably don't remember me but you helped me pick out the DIY LED kits on Rapid LED. I sent you some pics. Are you going to mix some CMH into the LED's? The plants have been loving the light combination. Thanks again for the help.
Hey Nick, I remember, and I think LED + CMH is a really potent combo. The CMH has such a broad spectrum from UVA all the way to IR. BUT, for an elitist like me, a CMH's efficacy of 1.7-1.8 µmol/J just simply isn't good enough. Top notch LEDs are pushing 2.9-3.0 µmol/J, that's 40% more plant usable photons per watt!!! . For the grower on a budget, CMH all day. My passion is in LEDs. Cheers and thanks for swinging thru.
@@GrowMau5 That's crazy efficient. Maybe I'll get some upgrade ideas while watching the series. I'm looking forward to seeing how tricked out you make it.
Thank you for this new series! Diy lightingbis not my jam..( Im good just buying lights lol) this on the other hand, i can follow! Will be waiting patiently for part 2
Thanks for the feedback brutha. I am going to try to keep a nice mix of general Grow Room building & installation , while mixing in some DIY led geek stuff for the homies.
Awesome, I've been missin' ya! I know you've got some roots in the reef tank world... a balls out reef with a bangin diy light would be awesome side project ;)
bro! how much money do you think I have lololol. Maybe if the garden is productive & successful, it will ROI a dope reef tank. Who is making the best Reef tank leds at the moment, best protein skimmer as well?
@@GrowMau5 Hands down, the EcoTech Radions have the best reputation (and a matching INSANE price tag). The Bubble King skimmers are the most bougie, but the Reef Octopus skimmers still probably have the biggest market share. If you've been out of it a while. DC pumps have really changed the market. Man with your design styling you'd do awesome in the reef world... we need you!!
I've been subbed up for lots of years but I've been away from all this for a Loooooong time, looks like we're both back. Beginner question, what is the best American made LED factory built light for a 4X4 tent right now for beginners? Are you going to do a slick LED build for a 4X4 tent in the near future? Thanks!
I have looked pretty deeply into those. I applaud them for building them here in the USA. I personally would not invest in one because of the chinese "driverless" light engines. The COB light engine is already mid-tier, that is compounded by the in-efficient "driver on board" cob chip. If you think they are cool, go for it, I'll bet the quality of the flowers will be good. I doubt you will break any yield records with that light. But take it with a grain of salt, I've not seen the light in person yet.
Called 110/220. Licensed electrician is the only way. Not a good thing to screw w electrical if you dont know what you are doing. Dont do electrical on your own. There is rating on circuits you are not supposed to go above. I went to school for electrical, journeyman level now. Dont be stupid and burn down your place, hire an electrician to do it. When you go 220 it cuts amperage in half because more power is coming into the circuit. Maus should have coated all surfaces not just stud material. Lastly a CO2 room.. your killing earth!! (Absolutely kidding about that), we are at a co2 deficiency earth wide. But MUH GREENHOUSE GASSES..
Running two HLG550s, 1/4hp chiller, and a small window AC, and miscellaneous equipment on a 220 and a 120...wish I could be more efficient. I have wet dreams of a mini split
oh, I have been keeping people updated on Instagram. ChilLED Tech is alive and well. RapidLED is distributing the Logic 100w DIY puck. We have a Logic ready-made light coming out at the end of this month (May 2019). Generation 3 ChilLED commercial fixtures with be out mid Summer 2019.
Rollitup.org was the MECCA for DIY led in the past. Censorship , favoritism, and unfair practices caused many to abandon the forum. But its still a great resource. Reddit is also pretty good, lots of smart people on there. r/Microgrowery
I looked through RUclips for something like this series. And I didn't find much. If Gorilla tents were reasonably priced, I would just go that route. I have an extra full bathroom, that is just about perfect for now. But I do need a bigger area. So I have been brainstorming myself. I subbed up, and I'll be watching.
Hey Terry, thanks so much for checking out the video and for subbing up. If there is anything you want to see covered, feel free to drop any suggestions right here. Cheers.
This is just the beginning. I really appreciate you all coming along for the ride. If you have any suggestions for topics to highlight in this series, please leave a comment.

Called 110/220. Licensed electrician is the only way. Not a good thing to screw w electrical if you dont know what you are doing. Dont do electrical on your own. There is rating on circuits you are not supposed to go above. I went to school for electrical, journeyman level now.
Dont be stupid and burn down your place, hire an electrician to do it.
When you go 220 it cuts amperage in half because more power is coming into the circuit.
Maus should have coated all surfaces not just stud material.
Lastly a CO2 room.. your killing earth!! (Absolutely kidding about that), we are at a co2 deficiency earth wide. But MUH GREENHOUSE GASSES..
Running two HLG550s, 1/4hp chiller, and a small window AC, and miscellaneous equipment on a 220 and a 120...wish I could be more efficient. I have wet dreams of a mini split
Excited to see this unfold! I am also doing a massive project soon here so I hope all goes well Haha

Did something happen with chilled grow lights? I don't use social media.
oh, I have been keeping people updated on Instagram. ChilLED Tech is alive and well. RapidLED is distributing the Logic 100w DIY puck. We have a Logic ready-made light coming out at the end of this month (May 2019). Generation 3 ChilLED commercial fixtures with be out mid Summer 2019.
Glad to see your back with a grow room build, you always take things to the next level, I really appreciate your commitment to the small details. 👊✌

Omfg hes back!!!!
Nice, I've been waiting for this!
Awesome in complete total of the word awesome thanks growmau5
Love your videos bro, can you recommend some good forums like ledgardner for qbs and cobs?
Rollitup.org was the MECCA for DIY led in the past. Censorship , favoritism, and unfair practices caused many to abandon the forum. But its still a great resource. Reddit is also pretty good, lots of smart people on there. r/Microgrowery
Awesome thanks my guy, learnt so much from your guys
So much yes. This is the exact series I need right now
👍💨💨
Guy here in South African we call someone like you
....VITAL......LMAO TYFS! ;)
Great post. I can't wait for the series.
I looked through RUclips for something like this series. And I didn't find much. If Gorilla tents were reasonably priced, I would just go that route. I have an extra full bathroom, that is just about perfect for now. But I do need a bigger area. So I have been brainstorming myself.
I subbed up, and I'll be watching.
Hey Terry, thanks so much for checking out the video and for subbing up. If there is anything you want to see covered, feel free to drop any suggestions right here. Cheers.
Glad to see you
Love it mau5
