Hey guys,

First of let me start by saying im ALWAYS thinkin about the possibilities for an underground grow room.
Do you think a sea container like the one below would support 1-1.5metres of soil & grass ontop of it?
Maybe you would have to put reinforcements inside im not sure, but it seems like an interesting concept to me.

Thanks!

YES.

Or even buried into the side of a hill , mound ect.
Having it buried is cool because of higher relative temps.
I guess they are selling these in some countries with installed windows and picket fences.

From experience they work wonderfully well, especially with a shed on top of it with a trap door so you can just pop out to the "shed" to get access.

Only downside is the digging and what to do with all the dirt you need to remove to stick the thing into the ground, its no easy task!!! :-?


It has been done tho ;-)

Maybe, maybe not.

Either way it works and its got to be one of the hardest set ups for undesirables to find.

Seriously tho Azuma getting the thing in the ground in the first place is a nightmare!

if you had access to a backhoe you could have it in the ground in an aftternoon.mang.

what about ventalation???? you would almost have to put a shed on top just so you could run air vents in and out of the thing but it would be pretty frickin awsome to have tho!!!

Not sure what a Backhoe is???

1.5 ton mini digger will do the job. £100 a day in my neck of the woods.

Suggestions for where to put the dirt you dig out? ;-)

it would be pretty damn sweet to have one of those thigns as ur underground op, but it would be a bitch to setup, digging that huge hole, and then cutting holes in the walls for ventilation and running electricity to it, and keeping people from being like "why the hell is he digging a big hole and putting that big steel container in there?" unless ur not by anyone, if u arent than u can just use the dirt to make some sort dirt track, like some mini ramps.

Sometimes you can find places wanting fill dirt for construction sites. Try checking with some local builders or just stop by a construction site and talk to somebody about where to get rid of all that dirt, and I think this is an awesome idea!!!!
Kudos to you my fellow, growing friend!!!!

Its already been done around here. But was caught. He ran a backhoe at night and put 2 train cars underground. Had trucks hauling the dirt away and everything. Someone had too big a mouth though and he didn't get it going or nothin.

Air vents are required. What if it rains? Still using a ton of electricity. Expensive as fuck. Thought about it myself however.
