We do have a lighting setup with full spectrum lights and sun rooms, we also grow wild blueberries, black raspberries and goji berries, and supposedly bananas are basically a giant yellow berry (botanically speaking) so figured why not give it a go! Seriously though it would be something "different" to grow something so tropical here in Ohio. I started seeing advertisements with people growing fruiting bananas in their homes, then jumped on the idea of something even better than the Cavendish they all sell, and always wondered what the Gros Michel was like. But being able to grow any cultivar to significant fruiting would be something.

There is a great thread about grow lights and bananas in the forum that that could be of benefit.
Your setup sounds awesome....
Which conservancy do you deal with.?
It is a shame that your limited to 6 feet high as you stated in previous post you could really grow a jungle of bananas in your growrooms.
Why did you make them so small?
Post a photo if you can that would be cool.
Have you thought of making a banana topsy turvey??
Sdc upside down sounds just up your alley if height is an issue
