I've seen some folks make it work, and others end in disaster...I think if you do alot of training and topping on your sats...it can be done fairly easily. Like DD said the plants will require different things..but this is true with any grow. They also have products on the market (bushmaster) that will stop verticle growth...so there are ways to do it, it's just a matter of how much time you want to spend daily with your girls.
