SE Qld Australia

after a lot of searching and hours on the computer
I am building a construction 200 feet in surface area
to mimick americas climate new hampshire to be exact
using lighting setups and cooling systems in my green house
I've got every thing I'm building it now.
I heard somewhere about chinese germinating seeds in space
these seedlings prove to grow mutated fruit 25% larger than normal.

Perhaps this subject is too broad for approach? LOL

I've been thinking about this for about 6 months now. Indoor growing might yield a "better than Goffstown" artificial environment if we had access to the space & controls to pull it off.

Temperature is easy. Photoperiod isn't too bad either (halide lighting to increase daylength). But unless we utilized commercial HVAC systems, humidity control is poor at best. Fans just don't get it done.

Where I see real potential is in barometric pressure manipulation as your Chinese zero gravity reference would indicate you're thinking about. I've seen reference on this website to large growth gains in the hours preceeding an advancing storm. Sharp drops in Barometric pressure might spur growth specific PGR's/hormones into causing large gains. Theoretically, these can be simulated indoors.

Is this what you have in mind?
