My Desk Location: will or will not work?

[REEFSTOCK]

LinhT is going to take me under her wing for orchid shopping and I am going to do the same for reefing stock list (help me! She has some exotic and difficult tastes), when we can somehow manage our schedules to match. I presume she can get me past the noob mistakes

Thanks for the input from everyone.

I just want to clarify the question a bit in order to help Fritz figure out if his environment will work. I think most of us grow our orchids with the night temps being somewhat lower than the day temps or the same. His situation is a little different.

We're trying to find out if anyone here has grown their chids in an environment where the LIGHTS OFF period has HIGHER TEMPS than the LIGHTS ON period. Has anyone tried this with success??

I've never actually had the nerve to knock an orchid (or any other kind of plant) out of the pot in the store to check the roots. I will lift it up and look at the drain holes to see what I can deduce about the roots, however (usually I can't tell very much).
