Fuck YEAH! That's what we're gonna do. Because it's under the house it's automatically far more stable with regard to almost every environmental factor you can control.
How much room do you think you have to work with? The area I have to use is almost the entire footprint of the house, and the growing area will be furthest from the street and neighbors. It's about... 15' maybe, from ground to "ceiling" (the main floor of the house). We're going to dig out a bed, because the soil is really terrible, very rocky clay. Lay down 1/4" mesh to keep out critters, fill with good quality soil. String up lights overhead, and plant (likely with my known girls). I may use something to keep their roots more separated, maybe divide using landscape fabric or some such, but at this point I have no specific plans.

Right now I'm just worried about having easily accessible water. The clay does not really drain well (practically not at all), so hand-watering is it at this stage. Although, I think a drip system, maybe using a manifold set-up so I can apply to each plant according to its needs, could work quite well. And topdressing (assuming a good quality mix is going into the bed to begin with). Circulation likely won't be a problem because of the size of the space, either. I'm actually getting kind of excited about the prospect.

if you are going underground water is the first thing i think of. getting it down there AND getting it out of there. you could mount a container of whatever size above ground and fill the water in there and then let gravity get it down there for you with a hose and nozzle. getting it out of there is just as important. a simple sump pump would be necessary to pump out all used hydroponic water and excess soil water
