Theres a million ways to make a mobile grow. The easiest would be with a truck that can haul shipping containers. That way you can drop/pick up your container anywhere. Have it set up so you just roll out the extension chords and plug it in, hook up a hose for water and your good to grow, Anywhere.
And shipping containers are solid so they wont get broken into as easily as a regular semi-truck trailer. Also your shipping container wont have to be registered/insured like a semi-trailer would.
It would be easy enough to make it work if you really wanted to, But I live in Canada so I just grow indoor, way less hassle.

People do grow in shipping containers.

The Urban Grower is great. I met him at the AV factory out here once. If I ever get legal I might just bring him over to one of my grows.

Thanks, guess if I'd thought about it a bit longer I could have figured it out for myself... Shipping containers sure are useful!Theres a million ways to make a mobile grow.

Brilliant idea. Put your security on the line by growing MASSIVE amounts of pot on your land. Put your land on the line by using it to grow. Put your finances on the line by getting ready to be fined and penalized by the IRS, DEA, and housing departments (or the aussie equivilant) by growing illegally. On top of all that, just borrow 150K from a bad ass loan shark at 15% interest, so when you do something stupid and go to jail, you can have a mob thug waiting for you to kill you whenever you get out. If you are risking that much, I think putting your life on the line is even worse.Oh he can just borrow that from a loan shark and pay it back when he harvests his first coupla crops. I think money's the least of the problems in this project!
Exactly.
This is just a bad idea. If you don't have any experience in this stuff, or have a degree in civil engineering, or structural design, AND you don't have the money to pay someone else to do it, your going to end up burried in the hole you dug.
So get ready, you'll be digging a hole with the intentions of growing weed in it, and you'll end up digging your own grave .... literally.
Even if, hypothetically speaking, you actually were able to pull this off, the cops have been busting everyone left and right in your area, as you already described. The cops have so much of a control that supply is being squeezed. So how long do you think it will take the cops to find your op? I say how long because it is an inevitability. Even if you were able to bury a few containers and grow in them, how are you going to sell the weed? Plan on shipping it accross the country so local supply doesn't get disturbed enough not to tip off the cops? Then how are you going to mask your electricity intake? Solar pannels? Good luck with that. Costs another 50K of money you don't have, then how weird is it to have a field of solar panels that don't really go to any large house?
How are you planning to wash the funds? Are you willing to commit ALL of your time to growing? And on top of that won't your neighbors, the government, or the community be somewhat suspicious of the fact that you don't have a job, but are driving a new BMW to a big ass house?
Everyone wants to be a weed barron, few ever do it, and nearly all of them eventually get caught.
The tennessee pot cave even got busted. The reason was the stealing of electricity, but the three murders that were being investigated, and the weird activity in the area would have tipped them off eventually.
Being caught for growing this amount of weed is inevitable. Your only chance is to grow as much as you can, as fast as you can, then get out before anyone is tipped off.

This is the #2 Biggest amateur grower mistake, Don't try to be a weed baron. #1 mistake would be over watering.
You will end up in jail or dead. Period. Unless you have as many people and lawyers backing you up as HA and the other major gangs you won't last 2 years.
Pretty much if your the guy whos gonna be doing the growing your gonna get fucked. The major operations that do last go through so many levels of people that its impossible to lay any real charges.
Basically if you want to make this work you need to find someone who you trust as much as you trust yourself, and you need to pay this person to go find another person who does not know you. Then you get this 3rd person to hire another person to run the operation. That way the person who is actually there couldn't even ID you if he wanted to.
Even then theres no guarantees that you wont get busted. Only the Best of the Best last in the commercial weed business. And the ones that do arent potheads, chances are they are University educated business men who just run the business side of things and keep themselves clean.
Your better off investing your time and money into a legit business. Or move to a state or country that will allow you to grow legally as a caretaker, then just start finding MMJ patients who want free weed.

Even the mastermind of the Tennessee Pot cave grow op, who lived in Florida, eventually got tied into it, and got busted himself.
From what I remember, he operated the grow up much like BCtrippin explained, and still got caught.

Well unfortunately if your talking about it online you already made your first mistake. If you were ever going to set up a long term grow like this, and I think underground is about as permanent of a setup as you can get, then you really dont want to be talking about it with anyone. I would literally not even tell my own friends or family about something like this. You cant be accountable for every person who knows at all times. If someone says something to the wrong person word can get around fast.
Where are you gonna put the generator? You cant put that underground.. You would need to bury a second container just for the generator, run pipes for air and exhaust. Or have a shed right over your grow, with your generator and intake and exhaust, which kinda ruins the whole "stealth" appeal.
10-12 feet underground is a death trap. Do you have any idea how many hundreds on tonnes of weight would be on that container 12 feet underground? You really wont want more then 4-5 feet of dirt on it. When it rains you dont want the thing to get crushed, or your tunnels.

I ordered from a manufacturer in Japan. I bought some 9 samples from them a few months ago and I like their ballasts better than the Lumateks I was using. So I went with them. Thanks for the rep. I just picked up all the equipment on Friday from the freight forwarder and brought it to our warehouse. I'll take some more pics tomorrow when we start to open them

I havent checked a wind map for australia and Im not sure on your financing but have you considered wind turbines? You could be off grid or on grid. Its alot cheaper than solar and if you plan on doing this you have to think about fuel cost for gen. I know that with your harvest you will be able to make up the fuel cost but still. Running a diesel, gas, natural gas, or propane gen all the time is major overhead that you'll have to consider especially when starting out. Unless you are financially secure and can make it a few months before harvest/incoming cash. Turbines is definetly an option. We thought of it and then looked at our wind map to see what our average wind speed is and big surprise I just happen to live in one of the worst places in the country for wind.

Running a generator isn't cheap either
