wow - this is dope! no really. it really is dope, in every sense of the word. it puts the ‘high’ back in hi-tech. witness the ultimate hidden secret (well, not so secret & hidden anymore) underground lair for growing marijuana on a massive scale. 50 yards underground actually.
The entrance was through a secret hydraulic door in the garage that led to a concrete ramp that went about 50 yards into the ground. Inside the cave was living quarters and a secret escape hatch that led you through a tunnel that exited via another hydraulic door that opened up a rock on the outside. It was very elaborate. The set up allowed them to harvest every 60 days which resulted in multi-million dollar sales.
the underground pot lab was located in tennesee, no less. all done dirtless using hydroponics. nifty disguised main entrance with the fake shelf above. and dig that massive door! and the secret escape hatch! soo crazy! link via boingboing.
What an amazing idea, I can’t belive how much work must have gone into the tunnel and that grow chamber. I wish there was some info on how they got found out.
How did they get rid of the marijuana odor? It have to come out of the greenyard anyway. Or is it that, that made the farm suspicious?
well, they could have filtered the inside air out through charcoal cannister filters. those generally do the trick (so i am told). it would have to be a lot of charcoal cannister filters though, or several very large ones.
Holy Cow, what a setup!! How were they busted? How long was the operation in business? This took some mastermind thinking and loads of money!!!!
mines bigger!
