6 x 12 enclosed trailer and storage unit. Need opinions.

I see you're guys points.

I just really want to keep it out of my place.
And I plan on getting a 2 bedroom duplex that only has one neighbor connected to it.

I wish I could get my old one bedroom duplex with the 6' by 5' walk in closet because it was directly behind a huge hospital and I dont think helicopters will be flying over that all that much that are not ER.

Thank you guys for you're opions.

And as for the heat.. I did have a system set up to cut it down. Plus I would have large chest freezers next to the trailer and maybe leave the tops open so cold air surrounds the trailer. And the storage area I was going to use is very secure. And even if the owner opened the door and looked around he would have no right to break the lock off my trailer. And even if he did that I would have a hide-away magnetic bar lock on the inside door.

 

3 or 4 x 600 watt hps's will run around 90 to 120$ to run each mont on a 12/12 scedule. Then ya got your exhaust fans, pumps and chillers. We aint even talkin bout a veg aria. Thats just a li'l bit of the monitary logistics of it. Its really not that fesable. --Then theres the security issues. Locks only keep honest men honest. If in fact someone did break in to your grow, wether it be the landlord doing a legit emergency situation nutrilization, or a thief breakin in, -your fukkt. Why would you put your grow in a place where the landlord has certain property rites that would allow him to legally enter your grow without notice and without your concent? Did you know that if he felt like it he could break in anytime he felt like it, see whats in there and call the cops on you and all youd be able to do to the landlord is sue him? Did you know it would be a legal bust for the cops too! As long as they didnt break in themselves it a good bust for them! That would make it hard to sue the landlord wouldnt it? Youd have to do it from a cell. Ya know what? Its just a realy realy bad idea. Just the fact that youd be usig so much wattage mite get the landlords suspicions up. I know that Id be suspicious if one of my rental unit tennants lectric was raisin my bill by bout 250$ or better. I realy dont even think youl be able to get the wattage youl need outta the outlets they provide you with in onna the units. Youl be burnin bout 4k watts by the time you figure in coolin, ventelation and a veg aria. Imma say it one more time, its a bad idea. I hope, for your sake you reconsider. This is just what I would tell somebody I cared about if they were considering this. Dont do it. Reconsider..

 

David, I gotta agree. There are much easier, cleaner and safer ways of doing this.

You can put in an underground 'bunker'. It's called a 'storm shelter'.

Being underground, it's insulated, it's easy to get water down to, along with electric, if you're clever, you can hide the entrance, exhausts, etc.

 

I would like to get a underground bunker but im in Florida... kinda hard to dig.. =(

I guess scratch the trailer idea... I see where you guys are coming from.

Maybe ill just get a cheap rental place untill I can save up for a house so I wont have to worry about landlords.

 

haha, I was gone mention underground.. I figured that someone else may mention it..
Good to see others have a noggin.

 

Florida. ugh. You have a point david, the soil's crap and because of the shifting water tables, it slumps and swells and shifts constantly. What you CAN do, is dig down and 'plant' 55 gallon drums, the insides coated white, with an adjustible height light fixture, or a few CFL's on the inside. Like between your shrubs or something.

but with keeping it off your property....that's a bit difficult, as anything 'outside immediate control' is 'outside immediate control'

It's military thinking. Planning more objectives than you can reasonably take leaves you with the problem of having more objectives than you can handle.

 

The 55 gallon drum sounds like a good idea but the plants that ive seen get like 4 feet tall.
And how many do you think I can fit inside of a drum?

Im not looking to grow a dozen plants here... I need to produce a really nice amount in a short time.

Again thank you guys for talking to me and helping me out.

 

are you currently growing any plants anywhere?

 

Well, what you can do, david, is if the plants get 'tall', is cut the top off one drum, the bottom off another, and you've got twice the depth. Or, an easier one, is dig a hole 2' deep, put your plants in the bottom and use the drum over the top as a disguise, along with moderating the humidity and a place on the inside to hang your lights. Just leave it sitting in your shed. After all, who's going to think of a nasty, grubby old oil barrel in someone's shed? you could even combine ideas. If you've got a dirt floor in your shed then you can sink the plant, or you can sink one barrel with another sitting on top, etc. get creative. But if your'e doing just a couple plants, just do it in a closet. It's easier, and having grown within 2 blocks of a police chief's house, and had him in the living room, drinking coffee with me on more than one occasion, and not suspecting a thing, if your'e chill, and don't talk, who's going to know but you?

for limited space, there's always the sea of green method....especially if you're wanting to grow in a short time...keep them in veg til they're about a foot tall, then swap the photoperiod, and between the plant density (as dense as possible) and the short light period, you'll wind up with a bunch of short dinky plants with a couple decent sized buds on each one.

 

Im not currently growing right now.

I want to grow a good amount. Atlease 2 pounds or more every cycle.

 

about a kilo a cycle? someone's wanting cash back on his purchases...lol

seriously, for you, I'd say you're going to have to do something that size somewhere were you can keep an eye on it, where it is under your direct 24 hour control for access, and I'd look into sea of green for you. you don't get a lot off any one particular plant, but when you've got 40 plants giving you 1/8 of what one plant would, it adds up. I'd kinda misunderstood what you were asking. I'd thought you said you didn't need a huge amount. If you're going into production, sea of green, or screen of green is gonna be your best bet. (unless someone wants to correct me on this...lol...i'll gladly let someone else toss in the 'more experienced' card)

 

I just need to make around 20k to open a business.

Ive tried the lottery but it isnt working out for me

 

yeah, the lottery hasn't helped me out either, but since I never buy tickets..lol...

 

You have to be in it to win it!

 

yeah, but texas supposedly uses the money to fund their education, so I'm voting against the education system in texas by not contributing to it.

Seeing as they screwed with me, I don't see why i should pay them for the cactus spines I'm still picking out of my butt.

 

Only reason I figured I would play the lotto is because I have such horrible luck in life that maybe karma will give me a hand that way.

But I guess im not done getting finger banged yet

 

david, dude...better a finger than an angry rhinocerous on viagra.

 

Rent a duplex. Take the power from one side and use it to run stuff in the other side of the building.. If you have a 200amp service, Now you have 400amps to play with.
But.
Most homes are 100amps.. so that means you have 200amps in the building.
You can run appliances and grwo equipment and never even be noticed. since the other home is running you grow OP and nothing else.. very effective.

 

Good solution O, or better yet, have the 'other half' rented in the name of a friend of yours who rarely ever comes by. That way IF it gets raided, he's got an alibi, and it's not 'your' unit.

 

Yes but when they check the power feeds it will becoming back to the nextdoor.
Thats if you want to live nextdoor in in the house you grow in.
Same goes for hijacking power from a pole or sub stations.. Its not hard to do..
I will not give detailed instructions. But If you know how to hook up a service line you can do this anywheres and never be metered.. lol. But should they inspect for voltage drops it will come back to you.
Voltage and current can drop by a tree falling on the wires ect. They do cut power line right aways to prevent this and maintaince of the poles. You may not see worker often but they do check wires at least twice a year. Depending on location, more.
