Moving S/H outdoors

[orchidjunky]

Ok i have a weird dilemna...

Moved into a new apartment which faces south but the only sunlight I get is blocked by an above balcony belonging to my neighbor on the 2nd floor. The sun that actually does make it i\to my apartment is confined to my outside patio area....

I have a collection ranging from phals to paphs to oncs to dens to catts....

My dilemna is.. since I have limited sun exposure inside my apartment through the windows.. I am now forced to put these orchids outside in order to access light..... only the thing is... it's now approcaching october and november... when temps cool down.... Right now (september) my area is experiencing 80s and 90s but I know as we get closer n closer to october these temps will drop down...

I guess my question is what should I do... given my situation??

a) Put my orchids outside in the meantime till it gets cold? Then bring inside?

b) Put my higher light orchids (dens, oncs) outside? and keep phals and paphs inside?

c) Just keep all of them inside and wait till next spring to even consider putting these plants outside?

d) other idea..

I'm avoiding buying lights and all that stuff due to limited apartment space and also budget reasons...

Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!
