Ahh ok! I read on andy's that they were long lasting blooms and I suppose the first one opened 2 weeks ago so I guess I wasnt expecting them to begin to fade so quickly. The color it's turned is truly beautiful however, so I'm not disappointed!
As for the light, if I see any signs of stress other than purple tinge I will immediately move it down, but from what I have read, the slight purple is ok. It's certainly not going to get too hot as the lights I have dont put out too much heat. Would it just be UVB that burns the leaves? I have heard that putting the plants as close to the light as possible without them burning is optimal as it allows the maximum use of chlorophyl.
