Growing Vanda under LED grow lights, Any successes with blooming?

[orchidsunlover]

Hello,

I'm a new orchid grower and even newer to the site.

I just bought a new strap-leaf vanda orchid (don't know exactly the name) and currently live in MI where we don't really get that much sun year round. I've done research and have found that Vandas usually require a good deal of sunlight. Humidity for me is not an issue.

My question is I have 2 9- watts LED Grow lights from Feit Electric (Equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent light, Kelvin's were not listed) that sit 6 inches from above my two vandas. I keep these lights on for about 16 hours a day every day but I'm worried that my vandas will not receive enough light to bloom? Has anyone here had good results from using LED to bloom your vanda? How many hours did you leave your lights on? Maybe even the distance between the vanda and the LED grow light?

I noticed little subtle results so far such as new roots emerging so I know something is going right at least. lol

I just want to see those awesome vanda flowers so please let me know about your experiences with grow lights and the results you got. Pictures are welcomed!

Thank you.
