Party newbie here and need advice.

Well I need advice and suggestions. I have two dwarf Cavendish banana trees that are 3 feet tall and about 13-14 leafs on both. There in big containers and there going in my spare bedroom. The room don't get good light till the afternoon hours so should or can I use my t5 6500k bulbs till the sun gets over to where the banana can get good lighting or just wait for the sun to get to them. I also have a 400 watt metal halide setup if the t5 won't do the job. My goal is to let them grow as if they was outside. Putting a leaf out every 7_9 days.

I live in Ohio and if someone in Ohio has done what IM wanting to do I'd love to hear what you've done. I can buy more lights i do nt have what I should. ( hide from the wife).

Also during winter should I remove some of the leaves to help with stress?.

Thanks in advance.
