I'd say it's not the best idea. You can grow larger plants by simply extending the veg period. It's not really practical in an indoor environment due to limitations of lighting, air circulation and various other things mentioned already. Bigger is not always better. Obviously, soil grown plants would benefit more from larger root space than hydroponics if you're not using chemical nutrients though. The buckets or pots generally used already provide ample room for either.
Providing the optimum environment from start to finish to suit the entire plant from the root zone to the tips will provide the best results.
Personally if I were to be growing in a large space I'd be doing my best to replicate or improve on the following style/setup.

CFLhydro Reviewed by CFLhydro on . Why do we grow in buckets, why limit our plants growth? I was kinda thinking about things and yeah I was like since the main reason a plant doesn't grow large or huge is due to that one factor alone, but what if I created a sandbox type thing but for the entire place they can grow so mainly the entire room, 14x11 would there be any disadvances or advantages of doing this? has anyone ever done this? Not only would it save on buckets it just seems like it would be overall better.. what do you guys think?? I was thinking of doing six or eight plants Rating: 5
