The temps inside such a cage will increase anyway with such an amount of light, so root temps are probably only a problem at night. Transpiration depends mainly on ambient temps not so much on root temps. Lower like 61-64°F/16-18°C is counterproductive and would slow down growth. 65-71°F is the optimal range. Higher like this opens the door for pathogenes like root rot.

I really like the idea cuz you can increase yield per squaremeter for sure by 100% and more by going into vertical orientation. I've seen lots of vertical grows but with 2 600w HPS bulbs inside a vertical hanging cooltube and the plants arranged around the bulbs. So exactly the opposide way.
With an outer diameter of +56" you better use HLG-600's or two HLG-320's. You can also use 8 bars but the PLC strips are only available in 2ft and cover only 4ft. But thats not really a problem with more bars cuz you could alternately leave on top and bottom about 1ft of space on each bar because they turn aound anyway. A bit less intensity in this areas but you would still have 5ft usable height.
