I am looking to build an underground grow room.

Anything I should know about building underground ?
Concrete will be used as a base, what can I make walls of ? I know pouring concrete in layers doesnt work as the layers don't bond. How do I get around this ? Will cinderblocks that are filled with concrete work ? Providing they are properly layed ?
Prefferable area would be the size of a 25m swimming pool. Depth of 10ft.

Also I wish to build a shed on top of the grow room, to provide cover and what not, so the "Roof" of the underground part would Ideally be able to bear some weight. Any tips ?
I have power/lighting/water all worked out already.

Well I use to build fondations with my dad and we used pannels that locked together for the walls. I can give you more details if you are interested but first I have to get home.

Something that requires hydroponics and secrecy.

>>535249
What were the panels made out of ?
Was thinking of doing a similar style to a US basement sort of thing.

Organic tomatoes? I can understand that. Farms in the USA get raided for growing products that Monsanto doesn't control.

I'm from Australia so I don't know what Monsanto is, but I'm assuming this is a good joke.

Any tips besides the usual, use Riobar, don't bring it to the edges of the slap to prevent concrete rot, etc. ?

No, it's no joke. Monsanto raids US farms and has the US produce market by the balls.

Ever hear of GMO's?

Actually did a degree in biology and chemistry before I decided it was worthless and did my MBA.
So yeah I have heard of GMO's, is there a big issue about them in the US right now ?

The issue is that Monsanto has a patent on some GMO crops, and raids farms if they think someone is growing something with their genetic modifications.

Sometimes they are because of cross pollination, or because a seed fell off a truck and landed in their field. Then they get sued and their life destroyed.

Monsanto have never sued farmers who have had GMO seeds blown onto their fields by wind or whatever. The lawsuits have all been about farmers knowingly trying to grow them without paying.

Op you do realize that putting hidden grow rooms under sheds is like the second most common place to put them. You would be better off putting it somewhere without a permanent structure on top.

Uk420.com

a guy there called leepy or Leppy did a great underground in or rather under his garage in the uk, if I remember correctly he basically dug out a large area and installed a wooden shed as a sort of form, pouring reinforced concrete all around it, worked very well and is still standing and even a police search of his property didn't find it.

>> No.535376

Come on guys, don't be silly. Obviously he doesn't have quite enough space for a regular garden and wants to grow all his veggies under the shed. Totally 100% legitimate.

Cut and cover, OP. Build your underground room just as you would a foundation for a house, because that's exactly what this is going to be like. Dig out the area you want, then use those lego-style concrete molds maybe. There are many techniques for foundation-building, read up on it. Then just build a floor over it as you would a normal floor. I'm guessing this grow room is going to be bigger than the shed you're building over it, yes? Perhaps then seal your floor to keep it water-resistant, and cover it with dirt and plant a nice big garden (of less-risky plants) on the parts that aren't covered by the shed. Inside your shed, I suppose you'd have a secret trapdoor leading down, and you should build a false wall to conceal the ventilation ducts that will pass up to the roof of the shed.
