Barrina light setup

[pokefan_nat]

I purchased Barrina lights this year after fooling with bright powered grow lights because if I can save electricity with something smaller, why not. I bought some seedlings from Hauserman, SVO & orchids.com and I can’t wait to see them bloom. I also bought two mature orchids. One from Odom’s and another from a vendor at a meeting. I have majority of the plants around 14 inches away from the light. I keep my humidity 55-60% and my day/night temperature stays around 73 F. I thought about buying a little AC in my room so I could keep the temperature in the mid 60’s at night because I live with family.
Lastly, I keep the lights on for 12hrs. Not sure if I should make it 14 hrs in the spring/summer and 12 during fall and winter. Is the distance okay for these plants? They’re all cattleyas.

I just realized I can view my old posts and part of my question might’ve been already answered whoops 🙃. I’ll check the parentages of the plants. I might switch the lighting to 14hrs til fall and winter and see what happens. I’m debating on buying this mini ice-powered AC from Amazon. If anyone has used something similar, please let me know.

12 hours in summer and 10 in winter suffice. No need to use extra electricity.

Okay thank you! I’ll stick to that routine.
