hey not sure if any one has said this yet since this thread is very long and cbf reading it but they sell hydro kits like this in uk they cost abit tho around 30k just search hydroponic sea container in google. i had the same idea but putting a heap of solar panels on one and a water tank on the side then pissing it off into the desert or something a few hours away. u could prob setup a self watering system with a heap of lights if the solar power was strong enough then just visit it every so often to check your babys and claim ur reward after 1 grow it would pay for itself plus no way of getting caught enless someone followed u or someone was watching it.

solar panels = about $2.5 per watt. in order to run like just 5 1kw lights it would be like $12.5k

most roof top solar systems cost 24,000,before rebates in cali and you would have to be hooked up to the grid.you would be lucky to run two 1000watt lights.solar is not cost effective,unless your house is allready hooked up.maybe in five years the costs will come down and a new battery will come along.thats why there are not more electric cars,batteries are too heavy or cost too much.and they need to be replaced every three years.

a diesel generater is the way to go for large off the grid grows.even then you are going to use 75 gallons of fuel per pound of processed product.(you might use less fuel with a sog).

Remo the "Urban Grower" recently visited a growroom in a shipping container. Above ground, on the grid, etc. But interesting nonetheless.

You can buy them premade and ready to grow. Dig a hole, hook up power and your good to grow.

Heck you could build one for the shipping charge of sending that thing across the pond alone.

out.

a freind of mine has this very thing buried in his farm, and he vents in to an underground drain, he dosn't have a shed over it though he has a manhole cover so it looks like a sewer. i'll see if he will let me take some pics to post

As a Dirt Guy I can tell you 1 cuft of wet dirt (cohesive material 10 -16% moisture) weighs about 125-140 lbs per cuft roughly. If you protected the metal from corrosion and provided a moisture barrier of some sort, those containers could be buried up to 10 feet deep without any problems within the first 50-100 years granted your not on a fault line or in unstable soil conditions. You could even layer the dirt on top in a geotextile grid support system placed and compacted in 1 foot lifts. A piece of 48" dia. corrugated galvanized or concrete pipe would do just fine for an access ladder with room for ventilation piping.. A shed on top would be perfect and a well or city water supply near by would allow a tap for watering needs. Noone wants to be hauling water up and down a ladder, especially for 100-150 plants.

i think this is a wast of time and money...the money u would spend to plop that f-ing thing in the ground u could build a sweat stelth room....i have a buddy and when i first meet him i was at his house and sittin at his bar that he has up stares... right below my feet he had over 90,000 dollers worth of work...and ive been growing weed since i was 15 ...im 34 and i had no clue...i can usally smell growing pot.....so idk

it did cross my mind..would be an absoulute lab for growing man..

to risky...what would be ur reason for doing this if anyone asked?

It certainly can be done. If you've ever watched The Union (a movie) It shows a growing place underground with about 20 of these setup under ground. It had its own watering system and lights. It was amazing! But im not sure you want to grow over 200 plants

Actually your so off base on the size of that grow I logged in to correct you, and only because it was incredible.

20 TRAIN CARS, these are 2x the size of the shipping containers (at least) and taller/wider.

They were all cut together and connected, and it looked as if they were using over 150 lights from a small count. and it wasnt 200 plants, more like 800 per room which was the length of 2 train cars.

Anybody have pictures/links to this grow?

If you are so concerned about being caught you might as well just go get your green card. do it all legit and grow in your house or outdoors. if your nabors didint ask about you buring a shiping container they are clueless to you growing indoors. or you can go outdoors if you have no nabors or find a nice feild in the middle of no where. i would rather take a couple hikes during summer then spend 10grand on a shiping container. i harvest all my bud outdoors at once i just plant 20 plants every year harvest at least 10 pounds of personal for the year!!!
