Thanks for the comments! I'm new at this forum business, this is my first article. I saw the contest and decided to share my thoughts. Regarding frying my orchids, that's why I set up 4 different light levels. My paphs are doing very well in the low section, a 50/50 mix of 3000K and 6400K bulbs, 800-900 ft-candles at the plants. On the high light end I've had to move some out that were getting sunburn, but on the other hand my brassavola and some of my Catts just drink it up and ask for more. I know I have not arrived yet, I have lots of experimenting to do, but after 6 years of very little success, to be where I'm at now is very gratifying.
