I've got a good 19' if I put a hatch between my basement and a back room of my shop. Heat would not drop below 60 and I'd have plant lamps and a sunroof. Otherwise, I've got 11'6" in the storefront window.

The pstem dies back after fruiting, right? That would mean I'd only have to move the GM there when it gets too large for the other locations, and keep there until fruiting.

I've wanted to build a greenhouse for ages. If I can keep the GM reasonably happy and healthy until then, I guess it'll have to do.
