Could I grow a plant with this design?

SproutDoubts · Dec 20, 2010

Is this achievable? Demensions are 15"x15"x32" approx

BLUE: FANS with Light Trap
RED: Light Fixture with 4 CFL
ORANGE: hydro drip basin with 3 baskets with plants.
BLACK: Wires

Maybe a screen across the whole thing for weight support?

I already have a plant, Im just curious.

hmm... why are your lights so far away and not above the plant?

The lights are stationary. The grow medium can move left-right and even out of the box...

That doesn't answer anything...

Maybe I wasn't clear. The plants will grow to the light. so will they grow horizontally. Not will they grow.

The plant will grow upwards. If you want the plants to grow vertically you'll have to LST them. So put the lights in the middle and it would be much better

not efficiently, at all. your best bet at this point is probably to rotate your growbox a good 90 degrees to get those lights where they belong

What if I plant them horizontally? or do they respond to gravity?

I have a regular grow box

, I was just wondering if this would be at all beneficial.
