My wife has become interested in growing indoor Brugmansias (can't blame her, really: they're lovely plants). For those who don't know, Brugs require lots of watering (although they need well-drained soil), lots of fertilizer, and lots of light.

This made me think that it might be worthwhile to set up a large hempy bucket filled with perlite and use a 70w HPS for lighting. Using the regimen that would work for my other favorite plant, with slightly heavier ferts, might result in a truly impressive little tree in our living room.

Does anybody have any experience doing anything like this with a Brugmansia or any other large flowering tropical bush? If this works I might set up a few smaller hempy buckets with Datura plants, which are gorgeous and smell great.
