Hi, If I bought an old junky school bus and buried it so the roof of the bus was about 5 feet underground and converted the engine to a diesel generator to power the lights do you think theres a chance that could ever work ?? the roof is reinforced to handle the weight of the dirt and theres already a hatch in the roof that could be used as an entrance. Obviously the engine would make a piss poor generator and would probably work like shit so maybe using a propane generator or natural gas generator would be better and just use propane cylinders to power a generator instead. you could also redirect some of the exhaust into the grow area to supplement co2 levels and get better yields. watering would be the hard part...rain catchers buried underground on top of the bus or man made basins filled once per grow cycle could suffice. Using LED's or T5's (fluros) might be better because of the low wattage and minimal power consumption needed to operate them. The LED's and T5's could be powered through a power inverter which is powerd via a series of car or transport truck batteries ( which ever is bigger lol). The batteries are charged from either the bus's diesel engine or a small natural gas or diesel portable generator which is set on a timer to run once a day just long enough to charge the batteries to do their work for the day. keep in mind if only flowering in this space you only need to operate the lights 12 hours or so a day, OR.... You could just bury an extension cord underground from any power source you want. lol
NOW.. let the hating begin lol
