Grow Tent Orchids

[K-Sci]

Thank you for the video tour, Isurus79!

I'm particularity curious about the results you will see following Chadwick's recommendation to withhold water in the winter for C. warscewiczii. The blooming size plant I have is in a basket that dries quickly, but it gets watered a little daily by water splashed from a tolumnia nearby that gets watered daily. Edit: In looking to see how dry it looked, I notice that it is putting out a new growth.

As to why C. warscewiczii would flower better when subjected to stress from dehydration in the winter, my only guess is that this "scares" the plant into making a last ditch effort to pass along its genes - much like a dandelion poisoned with 2,4-D. Edit: I'm now wondering if the dry period works to keep the plant from using energy reserves to grow in winter.

I have not used a growing tent so I'm curious about how you are managing the day-night temperature swings. I imagine that the LED power supply adds some daytime heat.
