Thanks so much for the welcome Ross. I've been meaning to get a seedling heat mat for some time anyway. Really excellent idea that won't cost me more in electricity than running my light itself.
I will probably start in the next week with a few Phaelenopsis simply because they're readily available at grocery stores in the area.
I guess the thing I'm most worried about right now is lumen burn, but I will try to put the orchids as far from the light as possible.
Would a typical Phaelenopsis benefit from a humidity dome if I can find a small enough specimen (or a large enough dome)?
Also any input from anyone on a tutorial explaining the basics of orchid cultivation?
