well, i want to put a 33x22x27inch doghouse in a 4ft deep hole, and cover it with some boards. i am going to have 2 fluorescents and a heater in there, and probably hook up some Hydroponics too. what i am asking is can anyone think of some flaws this plan might have? i am open to suggesstions

Well, you asked for it (in a kind, helpful tone):

• The doghouse is waaaay too short, you're going to need more than 3" vertical space.
• Heat issues. Might be a problem, depends on temp of the ground/air.
• Light Contamination. Make sure that you cover that hole well during your flowering and also vegetative cycles. During flowering leaks will revert the plants back to vegetative cycle. During night leaks will cause very suspicious neighboors.
• Flooding. If it rains, you may have flooding and/or run-off contamination.
• Ease of Use. How are you going to tend the plants? Hauling them up and down would be a pain in the you-know-what and you could also accidentally drop them.
• Security. Where is this going to be? Beware of prying eyes

Well, that's all I have, wish you all the luck!

hows it goin...i did have a set up underground...ive got a 10ft square shed on a concrete block...i cut a hole in the concrete in one corner (2ftx2ft)and dug out all the soil to form 5ft x 5ft x 8ftlong cavern under the shed(i braced and struted the roof as i went...had two pieces of 3 in round plastic pipe with pc fans in side,leading to the surface...sprayed the walls with sprayon concrete(got it ina can from the hardware store)and painted it white..set up 2 1000watt duel spectrom lights from the roof and grew 18 plants in a S.O.G set up...fitted a handle to the square of concrete that i cut out...and rolled carpet over the top...in the cave...it was a cosy 85degs F..and 75%humidity...also later put C02 injection....but if anyone who may try this...never dig it alone..and have a fair few railway sleepers(wooden) that you have already cut to size for roof supports..and dont dig the hole to deep...and have plans already made...and research you soil type...wont work in a sandy soil..

Under ground is much more hotter,or atleast hear 1 foot under ground is 90 degreese and humid

Wow, man. Great info on the soil temp ranges! You hit my area dead on, low 70s year round, due to water table/aquifer cooling.

However, I think the security issues alone involved in a buried site would be too big. Suppose somebody sees you walking out to the yard, and climbing into the ground??

Also, on the lighter side, I had this mental image of LeBouf and Carter coming up from under the guard dog house on the opening of every 'Hogans Heroes' episode...anyone else get that one? Mrs. ~Q~ says his name was Lebeau, she is right. If I had my way, his name would translate as The Beef. LOLOLOLOL!!!! Sorry, that one killed me!

If that one isn't obscure enough, here's another:

If he WAS named LeBouf, he'd be that cow in boots in the Val Kilmer comdey classic 'Top Secret'!! HAWHAW HAW HAW...

. Thanks for the visual. Now I have to get the grin off my face.

As far as building underground....AG hit it on the head. It will take much more planning and preparation than you have done so far. You are adding a lot of "ifs" to the scenario when considering digging. Anything above you has to be supported, or it'll fall in and kill you and/or the ladies. Moving that kind of volume of soil is a pain in the whole body.

Why the need for the bunker grow? Or is it simple curiosity?
