Building underground grow room. Safety Concerns.

[idea]

i agree with looking at survivalist sources for bunker info then applying it to your situation.

if you think about it a bunker can have ventilation, heat, water, electricity, hidden entrances/exits, etc. just about anything that a grower wants in an underground grow.

there is also a book called The Secure Home by Joel Skousen that is great! its written by a retired contractor who is also a survivalist type and it is the size of a small phone book. it has all kinds of great ideas and schematic diagrams that directly apply to designing above and below ground grow ops. it goes from site selection to camoflauge (rural, suburban and urban) and it has cheap options that work.

but you need to seriosly think this through because its a great way to kill yourself or get caught if you are not very careful.

Understanding a process called "Galvanic corrosion" is vital to putting metal structures under ground, even stainless steel or aluminum structures. What may not corrode apart in the air certainly can and will in the ground.

id just bury a shipping container with proper drainage, all around it (make sure to insulate the hell out of it + vapor barriers). Sides caving in would be something id worry about though and I would only put a few inches of dirt overtop. Basements are ridiculous expensive and require a lot of labor to build.

I have looked over shipping containers in the past BUT this would outdo them IMO, just dig a BIG hole, put this down and your set.

What would you do if you had this and how would you do it?
