as we can see, you want to end up in jail. go ahead, do the attic but that tapping in before the meter shit will bust you before you have the time to kill the plants on your own much less get to harvest.

This guy will burn his parents house down if he does this. Man of they aren't letting you grow there, don't fucking do it. Only reason your abandoning the cave is because your parents are pissed. Show some respect for them. You can always grow when you have your own place.

I will upload pics for the lulz, and i'm abandoning the "cave".

one last question. what about doing it in the attic (noone has ever gone in there) and tapping in before the meter?

as you can see I like brackets
Your attics going to get too hot to run lights in the summer unless you run AC. These will stack up and show on the electricity bill.

And with your two suggestions (underground plywood cave and attic) I would strongly advise you to stay away from live powerlines. You're in your parents home. Even if you DID manage to tap in before the meter without killing yourself, you'd be putting your parents at risk.

Just get a job, rent a cheap apartment, and go to town. Better yet, get some clones/seedlings and go plant them in a field somewhere. If you parents aren't down with it, you shouldnt be growing on their property.

Ok so a little while ago my parents went on vacation for two days, and I decided to build an underground grow room in my back yard. It is 6'x6'x5', hand dug and a foot underground (worst 2 days of my life worked nonstop on vyvance). The room is sturdy, and made out of plywood and 2by4's. on the outside it is covered in plastic to keep (most) water out. I opened it today 2 weeks after it was closed, there was a lot of mold everywhere and the air felt toxic so i closed it again.

my plan from this point is to completely seal the room with silicone caulk and spray foam.
then run wiring to it underground to feed an hps balast for 2 400 watt hps bulbs and an 8" duct fan (maybe go with 6")
rig the lights so that they are completely sealed in a cool tube with the cool tube intake taking air in from the room. then a pipe to the outside a few yards away
the lights will be rigged to timers
i will run a hose through the room to each plant and then the outside so i can water them.

i can only get into the room at night. but it would be best if i can just leave it alone and check up once a week or so since i have to dig to open it.


my biggest fear is mold. will silicone-ing all the walls be enough or no? (do i need a dehumidifyer)

would i be able to hide the electricity used from my parents ?

should i worry about heat?

how many plants should I have?

does this sound like a kind of solid plan or is this the craziest shit you have ever heard?



btw my parents kind of found out the day they got back, its not easy to hide 216 cubic feet of dirt. they dont think im doing it anymore, but i need to fucking pay for my education :sad:(pharm D). and i would be able to if i didnt spend so much money on pot so i want to grow for myself.


Please help me out
also since i already have the things needed to do a grow if you know of a better place im open to suggestions.
Bro, before I moved to this podunk town, I used to work for a residential construction company in Dallas, TX. What you are attempting, or even doing (if you so have attempted) is a complete hazard. First of all, if you plan on making this structure sound, you need all pressure treated lumber, green sheetrock (for bathrooms and kitchens), and way more (including re-bar). If you're spending money on this kind of architecture, why don't you just save it, get out of mom and dad's, and grow in your apartment closet. Idk about the rest of the folks on this site, but HOLY SHIT, what you are attempting is suicide. You've got at least a hundred cubic feet of dirt waiting to collapse on top of you, crushing your body, leaving you oxygen-free (no bueno at all senor), and destroying your parents yard. Plus, if you're thinking of tapping into your parents' electrical box to power this abomination, you need to have some serious electrical know-how. You're gonna fuck shit up in so many different bad ways. Not trying to bad-mouth, but seriously dude. If you wanna grow pot that bad, take that money and invest in a cheap 1 bedroom apartment, a small wardrobe or armoire, and grow that way. Other wise, you're gonna be in the local Obits in no time. Seriously. Think about what insanity you are spewing forth from thine lips! IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!! Plus, how in the fuck did you dig that kind of hole, in 2 days, without serious amounts of meth, or a Kubota? Bro, I'm not a grow champ, but I do know a lot about construction, and you're gonna kill yourself!

ATTENTION " Man dies while mowing in back yard! Earth swallows him while on riding lawn mower.......Dude grow shrooms instead...lol I want to know how you thought you were going to explain the back yard to your parents?? You would have had to dig a 12' dia. hole min. to get that deep and wide especialy in sand without caving. Then to build structure, seal, cover and get grass growing. IN 2 DAYS??? Bro put that on any application and give to a contractor. I guarantee they will hire your meth crankin ass just to run a #2 anyday!!! :-?

I hired 2. Mexicans to help me dig. The dirt was loaded in a uhaul and dumped.
A cavein wouldnt kill me since its only a foot of dirt on top but u have all convinced me that this is in fact a dumbass scheme. Also the building was made of presssure treated ply and 2x4 and is solid as fuck so you gotta give me some credit


I will post pics later this week

Pics or it never happened. I don't believe this at all. Stop smoking meth, and stop hiring Mexicans. I am half Mexican, therefore I take offense to that. All of that money could have been spent on getting an apartment and then setting up a grow op there. Quit telling fairy tales and quit hiring my people to do your work. You need to either find a new way to grow, or just keep buying sacks from your local dealer. You're gonna end up killing people with your hair-brained schemes. 'Nuff said.

This is absolutely the funniest shit i have ever read! I would love to see pics! But like everyone else is saying its also a really bad idea, I mean I've read about people burying school buses and rail cars for underground grows but at your parents house, geeeezzzz! How old are you man, just move out and have a solid grow somewhere safe. Or don't grow at all and quit smoking and save for college and grow once you've gotten your degree and a good paying job. You need to think about paving the way for your future if your just a young man, and not so much about growing an illegal plant, especially when you don't have the means to do it. Sorry to burst your bubble.

your gonna kill your family and then have to live with it when you burn their HOME to the ground.
Now here is the bad news. You will remember them each time you get high for the rest. Major buzzkill.
Weed is not that important to you I hope.
