Im starting a medi grow opp with a silent partner. The room i have to work with is a 40ft shipping container burried into a side of a hill.View attachment 1264846. As far as set up i would like three rooms built into the interior. Two flower rooms and one veg room for clones and moms. I have about five years growing experence some outdoor and rightnow runing a 12'x8' indoor grow. My set up is two 2'x4' trays under a 1k hps and a pull over two pounds. My goal with the new set up is to pull 12 pounds out of each room and have a harvest every month. I can do what im doing on a larger scale or try something new. What i run right now is veg in 6'' net pots filled in hydroton for a mounth ebb and flow. then i take my 2'x4' tray and lid ( lid with holes for net pots in a 3x5 pattern) fill the tray with hydroton place the lid then set my net pots(dwc style but ebb and flow). Currently running house and garden full line. And use humbolts own snow storm, purple max, bush master, and gravity and use those foliar fed. Just looking for any ideas with difrent methods of indoor growing sence ive only done ebb and flow on trays. Would like to limit my flower rooms to 3 1k lights run a water cooled co2 gen from hydro inovations and also run thiere ice boxes. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks for looking.

If this is a medical(legal) grow, why put it in a buried shipping container?
its buried for insulation. Ever been in one bakeing in southern cali sun. Its not fully buried thieres like five feet sticking out from the hill. Plus i like runing dozers.

No, I've got better things to do than hang out in a sea-can in the sun, but I see what your getting at...I guess.

after the 07 wild fires in southern cali i did some property clean up for some one as a 750$ trade. It was a new unit that he used for storage sence his house burned down. I think they cost about 2,500 new used ones are way cheep. And i had a buddy who drives semi's deliverit for half a oz. Probly the closer you are to a port of entry the cheaper. Hears a list.

I think you might want to consider reinforcing the top and sides. They're intended to be stacked but not buried.....

i doubt it those containers are designed to hold 60,000lbs + be stacked 10+ high . i personally wouldent worry about strenght .. i would however paint it and wrap it in plastic so it dosent rust .. rust can degrade steel pretty quick ...

I thought about that asked around a bit then figured that if thiere rated fpr 60,000 lbs and stacked ten high. Then ten feet at the deepest shouldn't be a problem.

I should of read the thread befor i poasted but my thoughts exactly. it was a newer container when i got it so paint was good. ( good enough to stand up to salt water). Didnt thing about plastic tho.
