So SWIM has a 40' shipping container that they are going to turn into a grow room. SWIM was looking for some ideas/tips on how to run power to the unit, and any advice/preferences on insulating. SWIM will be running 3 600w HPS and 1 600 MH.......GO!!!!
I have a twenty footer and can run 3 1000 watts and room for storage at the doors, but am only taking the last 6 feet with a single 1000 plus a 400 . What I did was used 2x3s for studs and then used the foam insulation boards with foil on one side, 11 bucks a sheet 4'x 8'. This created an air space and has worked very well, a small fan drawing air in and a strong inline 4" evacuating on the other side, works like a dream. I also took three concrete insulation blankets and draped them over the top. I love this thing cause I CAN LOCK IT UP! And I don't have it in my house so nosey people do not have a clue!
