Buried Semi Trailer Grow Room

Ok so this is all hypothetical at the moment. Imagine, if you will, a semi trailer. Now imagine it below ground with weed growing inside of it. 53’ x 102” x 13’6” is a typical semi trailer. thats a whole lot of square footage. The required equipment would be LEDs to minimize power usage and heat. A Carbon filter exhaust system. simple dirt would be okay for growing but i think some kind of hydro system would be the way to go. you would wanna be out in the country some where so no one would see a semi trailer get buried in your yard. I hope that one day im going to own some property in some back woods ass place and grow using a setup just like this. i couldnt even fathom how awesome it would be. how much bud do you think you would get from a harvest is what i wanna know! Sorry about my crappy illuistration i whipped it up in like two seconds

I'd be adding a BUNCH of bracing and reinforcement on the inside. Dirt weighs quite a bit. The trailers I've unloaded seem flimsy.

i heard of a guy that did something very similar to that....i heard it works well, and stays cool. (w/ proper ventilation of course.)

edit: f*ck led's tho....do a few 600w hps'...you wont regret it.

yeah i guess you could use HPS. If its cool in there already the lights would warm it up. I wonder if it is easy to keep the temp and humidity at a certain level. But yeah if you used a shipping container that would be even more baller, a semi is probably too unstable

EDIT: oh and whats the fun in a basement? besides no one is gonna wander down into a container buried 15-20 feet underground. I think it is a much wiser option to bury something and only you would know how to get in.

shipping containers also come in different sizes so you can do a 60 footer or only a twenty, but dont bury it 15 or 20 feet remember you have to get in and out WITH all the water and supplies

who is leo? and since the shipping containers are like 10 or more feet tal, unless you wanted just a thin layer of dirt, would be prolly like 15+/- feet ftom he botom of the container to the ground above

In the highly recommended (IMO) documentary "The Union" they visited an abandoned (busted) grow op in buried train cars. There were several of them linked together with a tunnel.

forget the semi trailer. won't work! Not strong enough. Shipping containers are close, but still dirt weighs a ton...lol. 3 x 3 x 3 dirt is a ton

you ever see the grow room underground that was busted? Search it on youtube. They had a system like you're talking about but amped up. The funny thing is though... they got caught b/c they were stealing the power. Idiots!
