The water farm is a very good single plant system, easy to manage, and produces good plants.The problem i see is:The 1 i have growing at this point is 37" from the bottom of the pot to the very tip of the top leaf.So i would say that you would not have enough height to use it sucessfully.
The system itself is 15 3/8" tall without plant.

If you are going to use an air cooled HPS light, you will need atleast 12" from the top of the cabinet,to the top of the fully matured plant.A CFL you would need a little less

So what ever system you use will have to be as slimline or low as possible.

Hope this helps
Peace
