Ok first off excellent job on your electrical work and fan placement. The lights your useing with that many should do you just fine...by the size of that fan filter I take it this is a covert grow so I suggest makeing an 8” hole dead center of the back of that trailer and hook up duck work to vent air out of the top that way the stink gets sucked in from the back of the trailer threw that 8” hole and is throw out of the top of the trailer creating negative pressure....negative pressure insurers that absolutly no stink leaks out unless it’s gone threw that filter first....a covert growers best friend is negative pressure.... also I worry about humidity and heat....iv worked inside of trailers in the past and they get fucking balls hot the vent idea I pitched to you should help with this..... humidity will be make or break for you with this grow my friend...that’s a lot of plants in a small space like that remember they will give off 1gal of water each into the air when their bigger u need to keep that shit in check or you’ll get bud rot and have to toss everything.......for future reference next go around rent a backhoe or excavater and put that big beautful bitch in the ground

Thanks for the tips bro. This container is a reefer container so it's not like a standard shipping container, they are for hauling frozen foods across the country . The insulation is like 4 inches thick on all sides including he floor and ceiling. It can be 90 outside and it will be in the mid 70s in the container .
This room is also totally sealed . No air in and no air out . Cooled with a 36k btu mini split and 370 ppd dehumidifier with a second on standby.

My thoughts exactly. 2 of those underground on a bunch of land and I would be a very happy camper. Ah hell, who am I kidding? I'd be happy with a decent size greenhouse on a couple of acres in the country...

Well here's an update for you guys .
I just finished week 3 of veg . They are finally getting over some leaf curl issues due to not letting the pots dry up enough before repotting (never done that before but first time for everything)
.I'm planning on repotting them into threes in a week and then flipping them in about two weeks. Stay tuned !

Can I ask how much the container cost you? Ballpark figures are ok. Not trying to be overly nosy, just curious if it would be something I could realistically afford.

You mentioned was first time potting up .
This cannot be ya first grow ,
Do you only have the 1 walkway at the front ?
When those plants get big and bushy will it be manageable to reach the back to de Fol and take care off them .
Looks nice .
20 hlg's must of cost a pritty penny .

I've been super busy the past 3 days staking these girls out like crazy. I'm finally almost done, 600 stakes later..... I will be flipping the lights tomorrow or the next day after I cut clones. The gelato cake is definitely outperforming the grape head gelato. At least in veg, we will see what it looks like in flower

Not,this is definitely not my first garden. But I haven't grown indoor in a few years . There is a 15" walkway down the center. The canopy will only be three feet . I've delt with larger , less accessible canopys than this. It will be tight but that's how we like it !

I have 80 under 20 lights . Hoping for 3/4 to one per light. We will see tho since the LEDs are 300 watt.
