Default Nobile Dens in S/H

I have questions about nobile Dendrobiums in S/H. I have always followed the practice in the fall of ;
1. stop fertilizing
2. reduce or stop watering
3. cool the plants down into the 40's
I know that many of todays nobile Dens do not need the cooling but I can't always remember if certain ones do or don't need the cool temps so I just treat them all. I would think that the fertilizer should still be withheld but am unsure about the water. If the roots have adapted to being in water, what happens after several months of little or no water. HELP!
