I was like, i have no idea what he is talking about....lol....yea they put four of em together with 2 on top of each other....whether you did it like that or just had one layer it pretty neat. The put the whole thing together for you and deliver it where you want. I am sure you could build it or something similar yourself for a lot less money but still its nice that a company offers a setup like this!

You could be 100% right, I just don't know much about these. I typed in clone shipping containers looking for the clone shippers and this site popped up. I only skimmed over the stuff and have not read any review. Maybe people hate it and it sucks....I just thought it was a cool idea an it looked cool!!

I thought the same thing but so far as moving the location of your grow room....this would be pretty easy, so far as you wouldn't have to break everything down and set it back up, you just throw the container on a truck and go.....really you could have a high end indoor setup with this powered by a jenny (generator) and place it anywhere you'd want!

@SeaF0ur ...thanks for that link, his grow is pretty cool and i bet was a lot cheaper then a pharmpod...

Hey are you familiar with something like this?

Coleman Cable 01980 X-Treme Box 01980 Portable Temporary Power Distribution Box, Converts (1) L14-30P to (8) 5-20R

I am completely unfamiliar with it but it says you can plug it into a dyer outlet and then have 8 20amp plugs. Since I have a dryer outlet already in my basement would something like this be able to be used instead of me getting a sub panel? Excuse if this is a really stupid question but i have no idea about any of this stuff

@Lazerus00 "Generator Transfer Switch" You are just limited with those, to the max wattage of the line feeding your receptacle (in this case). 220v @ 30amp = 6600 watts max. 120v @ 20amp 2400 watts x 8 conections 19,200w before you max that unit out haha. So, keep your total wattage in check.

I have one of these for backup power I guess.

As long as you don't exceed the original sources power doing it like that...

So you need to know AMP and VOLTS of original source.

Reading more into it.....product says 220V 30 amp source. Meaning you can put a total of 6600 watts. IF YOUR SOURCE IS 220V 30 amp circuit!!!!

But if each plug is limited to 20 amps at 120V, then each plug can only go to 2400 watts.
Meaning you could easily overload this box! Only (1) 1000watt light per outlet!!!

The wattage figures I gave DO NOT ACCOUNT for continuous power (lights fans etc.) I think you need to take it down 20% to calculate continuous power. Giving you about 5280 watts
