From what I've read at this forum (and I've read a lot), it is the most energy inefficient way to grow hops, but possible. So... go for it?

Energy inefficient compared to what? Compared to growing them under natural sunlight in an appropriate climate? Of course, but that's always going to be the case when your light source needs to be plugged in. The reason people want to grow indoors is because we don't all live in the Yakima Valley.

You say you've read that it is possible, though. Can you post some links to people doing it successfully?
