Just in principle, plants in pots do not seem to do as well as those in the ground. While the root system may have some room to grow, to will be constrained. When we dig up even small well rooted plants here, we cut roots that are deeper and wider than the drip line.

In your estimation, are these conditions under Artificial Lighting, better than outdoor situations in Tropical Areas?

How tall are the plants getting? Can you accommodate a 15 foot tall plant?

I am no expert. I wish you the best of luck, it is hard enough to do it in the ground!
