Born Loser:
I was assuming he meant one plant per pool... He said 'ignore pots and bamboo'
You could train 1 to open the center and drop a light or 2 inline with the main stalk...
Height is always optional with extensive training /pruning.. To an extent
Hi, Born Loser.
Thanks for the reminder about `ignoring` the vessels inside of the pool. The existing vessels and configuration does help to determine scale.
We found height to be advantageous. Of course, it would be width if the training were to proceed laterally. Whether `height` or `width`, we would encourage elongation of branches to promote more nodes and shoots. Whether or not those shoots were trained to go `up`, or `sideways`, or spun into various shapes when tied to supports would be best determined by the gardener at that stage.
During experiments, we preferred angles. A 1 foot cube has 12 inch sides. Yet, if one were to draw a line from a lower corner to an upper corner, that line would be approximately 17 inches.
One could position a luminaire directly above a specimen and form a `cone` around it with plant or tree limbs.
We preferred to position luminaires offset, and asymertical, to produce light where there might not be any in a purely symmertical configuration. Either might work.
We preferred to tilt luminaires at approximately 15 degrees so that light would both shine down onto the specimen at an angle (similar to the sun), and shine only slighlty upwards, encouraging growth `up`. Even if the luminare was positioned closer to the specimen, there would still be some illumination (photons) traveling towards the top of the overall garden.
If the luminare was `over` a specimen, we would still offset it from being exactly `centered` over the `bowled` specimen, again, to create asymertrical photon patterns, similar to those found in nature, where the sun shines upon (or, irradiates; `strikes`) the earth at angles. Further, those angles change in nature as seasons change, or as the earth `wobbles` on its axis.
[EDIT: FOOTNOTE]
In our previous post, we mentioned angling a vertical luminaire at approximately 15 degree. To clarify, we 15 degrees from the starting position of 90 degrees. So, the luminare might have a true angle of either 75 degrees or 105 degrees. As briefly noted above, at least two of the goals of such a positioning would be 1) mimic sunlight; and 2) creating an array light waves travelling both downward and upward, from a primarily vertical position.
Just some options that we found to be advantageous. By no means the only routes to proceed.
We hope that this post might be helpful.
Best,

So well laid out...
Thanks to you guys I see difficulties that I had not understood with the idea of a large "Tree" grow in a Tent.
2 plant per seems to be a great option for a pool when trying for something on a large scale.
The
Sounds like a great technique IMO.
Thinking in terms of angles and the work you have done as well as
the way you laid it out is GOLDEN to say the least...
I can visualize the grow from start though end a little better/realistically...
You have given me quite a bit to chew on and I love it...
Thanks you once again as this is some great information for
what is possible in the space I have.
