I wonder if the lower gravity on Mars would have an effect on bamboo's growth. Maybe it will grow faster, or higher?

The gravity on Mars is roughly 1/3 G.

Edit: I also wonder if there's a potential process for turning bamboo into PLA.

My guess would be higher and weaker.

likely much less wind too, which would have the same effect

You aren't going to be sitting outside without a space suit on.

Luckily humans will weigh less as well. So it might balance out.
