Growing inside a Enclosed Trailer in the driveway!!

Well you drive by them sitting in front of people yards everyday, I think dirt bikes ect. so I think It's pretty stealth..

I borrowed this trailer while I was moving and thought "Wish I had one I'd grow in it" so I got one. I first tested it for light leaks and had none! I thought for sure I would have work there.. Then I gathered up 55 clones, 15 diff strains. .
So now the trailer is anchored in the driveway and I have one 400w mh and one 400w Hps together along with some cfls in the corners, I have a 1000w that I will add later. About 30 of them are now in 3 gal pots w/ocean forest while others are still in cups for a few more days waiting for transplanting. 20 or so clones will go into 1 1/2 gal pots since I will be out of space. I'm also going to have to grow from the ceiling (Homemade topsy turny style).. Still alot of work to do I just picked up an inline fan and some ducting to get some fresh air circulation (96'deg - 56 humidity ) also working on dropping some C02. I will take weekly photos and log. I don't really have a clue If this will work with the trailer as temps flux quite a bit, but fk it here goes!


Partial strain list off top of my head...

Super Silver haze

No comment on the idea, other then it could be ingenious, but I would like to give you kudos on your avatar.

Excellent!

The only downside I can think of is that everybody I know would constantly want to borrow it for conventional uses.

Good luck and good growing.

I think thats a great idea! i might just consider that myself. Next spring that is. Mylar the sides and what are you going to do for venting?

awesome idea!

yeah dude...... can I borrow your trailer?

I'd take off the wheels right away. Maybe also chain it to the house?

its gonna get super humid in there when the lights go to 12/12 i bet

Most of the people in my life are self sufficient and wouldn't ask, but If they do "It's full of my Mom's stuff" is what I will say..

Thanks Man so far so good, I bought some white board that I will slap on the walls tonight and for the venting..
I hole sawed a couple of holes in the floor and covered them with electric boxes full of activated carbon then I slaped ducting over that as you can see in the pic below. The fan I got was a cheap 6"inline from home depot, it works ok, but I'm on the hunt for a used Vortex.

pretty cool. I wanted to do this with my old 69 econoline van in the back yard. What about power cords leading to your trailer? bury them?

Self-sufficiency has nothing to do with it. Asking a friend to borrow something you do not own is not dependence. Expecting or demanding the use of such an item might be considered dependence or entitlement.

Either way, an enclosed trailer is a very handy item.

I once had an old beater pick-up truck. I was amazed that even my friends who had their own pick-ups would ask to borrow it. I finally reached the point where I asked why. In every case they did not wish to dirty up, or risk damage to, their fancy truck and figured I didn't give a shit about my Fred Sanford truck. This is not such an unusual phenomenon.

looks good man u might want to insulate that roof for when it gets cold

What's up Smelly! I live in an semi-upscale neighborhood and just having this trailer out front is already "slummin" so tires etc have to stay on . I do have it "redheaded to the driveway and a hidden cable "rim to rim" and since noone knows, but YOU guys I should be alright.

This is the only issue that scares me..
So far Ive been averaging 40-55 humidity and the ceiling and walls have sweat build up after watering. This will get tricky as the temps drop. I need my heat so more air flow/cfms may not work, thinking about adding a dehumidifier !?
