20/40 foot - Shipping containers (growtainers?)

Newbie to the forum and greatful for any feedback(positive/negative) from the wise folks on here on growing in old shipping containers, which are converted for growing our favourite medicine…

Has anyone grown in converted containers and willing to share some knowledge on success/failures?

Which growing medium is most suited? We have access to great quality soil but open for alternatives…

Any contacts(reputable) for fully assembled growing containers?

First question what will you do for heat control?

Thnxs OG,
Temp control is most certainly one of the main criteria to consider. It would be a new venture/grow and know little about it - so any advice or guidance appreciated.

Containers will be in hot climate during wet summers & moderate dry short winters that never freeze…keeping it cooler rather than warm is most likely the setup suggestions sought.

The only concern would be the sun blazing down on the metal all day and acting like a giant oven.
Not sure if the radiant guard stuff would help,but have read a few review that swear by it.
That said , I think it would be a great grow space,if you have the budget to build it right.
Keep us in the loop huh
Be safe
