I'm in Ohio too. My banana is in my downstairs bathroom under a MH light. growth kind of stunted for the first 45 days after I brought it in, but it seems to be booming now.

Only problem is aphids. But I'm spraying it with an insecticide soap daily to keep that in control.

So yes, it can be done. I've had to move the light up several inches already because of the growth. I expect this sucker will be ready for a repot in April/May when I can take it back outside.

Good luck with the light.
