have u ever seen a container grow in the news or posted on the internet??
This intruiges me. When you say mobile grow room, are you meaning like a van or small truck, or a trailer or something?
I think it's a fantastic idea, but I'm interested in the logistics of such a thing. Is this just a thought you had or have you figured out a way to make such a thing work?
Thanks, guess if I'd thought about it a bit longer I could have figured it out for myself... Shipping containers sure are useful!Theres a million ways to make a mobile grow. The easiest would be with a truck that can haul shipping containers. That way you can drop/pick up your container anywhere. Have it set up so you just roll out the extension chords and plug it in, hook up a hose for water and your good to grow, Anywhere.
And shipping containers are solid so they wont get broken into as easily as a regular semi-truck trailer. Also your shipping container wont have to be registered/insured like a semi-trailer would.
It would be easy enough to make it work if you really wanted to, But I live in Canada so I just grow indoor, way less hassle.
Brilliant idea. Put your security on the line by growing MASSIVE amounts of pot on your land. Put your land on the line by using it to grow. Put your finances on the line by getting ready to be fined and penalized by the IRS, DEA, and housing departments (or the aussie equivilant) by growing illegally. On top of all that, just borrow 150K from a bad ass loan shark at 15% interest, so when you do something stupid and go to jail, you can have a mob thug waiting for you to kill you whenever you get out. If you are risking that much, I think putting your life on the line is even worse.Oh he can just borrow that from a loan shark and pay it back when he harvests his first coupla crops. I think money's the least of the problems in this project!
Exactly.It doesnt matter how fast you can dig a hole and bury a container....
it takes a lot longer that 3 days to wire, plumb, and build access to a container.
1 container for someone who has never done something like this would be an absolute MINIMUM of a 6-8 week project, and that would be with a 5 man crew working every day. Digging, plumbing, wiring, building all the concrete preforms. Then laying the concrete.
What are you gonna do when your little project is finished? Kill the all the crew that helped you build it and bury them too?
This is the #2 Biggest amateur grower mistake, Don't try to be a weed baron. #1 mistake would be over watering.Everyone wants to be a weed barron, few ever do it, and nearly all of them eventually get caught.
ok i have my machinery tickets for a front end loader and a excavator my old boss is cool as lives down the road from me and smokes and has a front end loader that quote "i can use anytime so longs as i pay for the diesel" and also one of my fathers friends owns an excavator we have had the excavator at my property before to make freestyle jumps as i ride moto anyways my parents are in a second hand and new furniture business that imports furniture from indonesia and what do u think the furniture comes in! SHIPPING CONTAINERS we can pick them up for $2000 australian dollarsso i can afford that easily and as for access to the thing i am a 2nd year apprentice boilermaker but never finished so i can make steel tunnels at first i think i would just have the one container and see how it all works i think i could have the container in the ground in one day covered over but not with access that would take another day i would say but this is all for one container im talking about atm my father already owns all the lights needed for an area that big all hps globes so all i need now is more of a secluded place imean theres fuck all ppl that live where i do but the towns full of cunts so yeah as for power generator would be the go my dad owns a 8 kva whish is plenty enuff power another thing is plumbing is one thing i have not thort about but im sure i will make up a design that works perfect as for the person who got busted because of the heat and the snow it doesnt snow where i live and i would have atleast 10 to 12 foot under ground it probably wont be a project that will be hapnin soon but when it does happe i will have a journal for sure thanks for everyones replys so far didnt expect so much feedback
