What do you think? Would this be a viable option if filled with a light & lofty potting mix? It's quite large. You could circulate fertilizer through it.

you would end up with a mess very fast. not enough medium to grow in.

well not just that, even if you were clean about it, you would end up with tiny ass plants, and overcrowding.

i have 2 plants right now taking up 3x6ft of space, and they are slightly overcrowded...

Personally, I'd just put a piece of PVC through the middle with some sprayers and make it an 'aero' unit.

I always imagined something similar to that, with a hydroponic configuration, turning on a Christmas tree display stand. It'd be similar to using a light mover, but you'd simply be turning your plants all the time. I suppose if you built 4 of these and surrounded a light vertically, you may be onto something.
