You can always use the LUX app on your phone from play store. It uses your phone's camera and will do lux or foot candles. Seems to work accurately for me from what I can tell.

I grow indoors, always get blooms. I give 12 hours of artificial light in winter, full sun in summer. I use GE Grow LED Light Bulb, PAR38 Flood Light about 2 feet away, like 2-3 of them.

Hi there. So, is the 'rot' part wet and mushy? Some orchids will have black spots, but if it is hard and does not give way, it might not be a problem. One thing you can do, if you think it is rot, is...

So, in my experience, phals can at times produce smaller leaves and shorter spikes when they are exposed to TOO MUCH light. If this is the case, the leaves of your phal may be too bright a green. If...

I am in MD. It goes outside in the summer, 70 nights and 90F days. And in Fall to spring it is indoors where it is 60-80F with very bright grow lights that even emit some heat.
