Man...just talked to a buddy of mine...he's buying a 45ft semi trailer and putting it on his property to grow in...he got it for less than $2k. Seems to me that it would be perfect especially for CO2...since it would be fairly easy to seal...only 2 doors...the back and one side. He has the property too, away from people... I'm just worried about the heat! LOL he says he's buying a reefer unit for it...figures if a reefer unit can keep meat frozen, it should keep the trailer cool...anyone ever done this? He figures 10x45x 12 ft high, he could do 40 plants and have room to veg/clone.

At that size, I'd think he could get a lot more than 40 plants.
 
Saw the trailer today and he thinks he is now going to do 2 rooms at each end, use the center for res, nutes etc. We can do cloning elsewhere and this way he can go alternating rooms flower/veg. I like the idea. Each room would be 10x17.5. X 14ft! or 175 sq ft or 2450cf. This would also make it so we only have to really seal the rear door...the center is wher we would enter. Now, with those dimensions, using a "modified" 5gal bucket E&G...how many plants per room would you suggest?
 
8k per room unless you want to throw in some vert bulbs then i would bump that to 12k per room. it would be tight but you could do 30 decent sized plants per room. instead of full sized tree's they would be semi tree's lol.:plant grow:
 
Shit, after he does his...I am really considering it...I have 5 acres I could do this on. Lol a friggen "mobile grow"! Get 2 of em! Plan on a few outdoor up there this year, just to see if I can grow some monsters!!

I would bury that trailer underground. That would help with climate control. Anyone recall the bust of several train cars buried underground?

I'm not sure if it's the same one, but I heard about one years ago somewhere between Northern Colorado and Wyoming. What a cool idea!

It was like in La Porte or something...homeboy got popped because he was getting diesel delivered to his grow, so he could power his generators. I think it was one of his neighbors that got the cops involved.. Pretty crafty really I heard he had a econoline van with a custom made gas tank that held 200+ gallons , and that was his fuel tank for his generators that were buried underground right along with his grow.

I remember this guy as well. Although he is not the one with the buried train cars..

This guy was doing it huge though. He got busted for a number of reasons including sketchy people on the property at weird times, the diesel and a few other things.

You know.. One day I was in Way To Grow in Fort Collins and I saw a very well dressed mexican guy with a very well dressed girl by about thirty of the 5 gallon gen hydro nutrient bottles. Pulled out a stack of hundreds as big as his face to pay.. I always wondered if that was him. It also made me feel better and a little safer about getting supplies for my two lighter lol.
 
Darn, I read the story recently and can't remember where, otherwise I would post a link. There is also a viseo on you tube where someone went in and checked it out later...

I once gave a dispensary owner a handful of clones. A few months later I was shown samples of SSH, which was in fact Afghooey. Golden Goat was Bubba Kush, and Afkansastan was Abusive OG Kush lol. I guaranted he sold dozens on top of dozens of wrongly named clones all over the state. Boy would that be a rude awakening expecting a short stout indica and instead getting the stretch moster of OG or SSH lol

It's best to get your clones from ONLY reputable sources....

lol this was at the denver patients/caregivers co-op wasn't it? i remember this fiasco...

This issue was my nemesis last summer, thought I had it figured out. It's those damn xtrasun ballasts, they are so damn hot and they wont reach to put them in another room. Looks like it's separate fan/filter for each tent to the tune of about 6-700 bucks. Great.
