I hate to do this but... Female
Default I hate to do this but...

It is 1:15 a.m. here in Vermont. I just got home from work an hour ago. Tomorrow I will go in at 3 actually 2, and I won't get home until 8 on Monday morning. My concern about this is, that I have been very conscientious about keeping the humidity levels in this living room kitchen growing area as steady as possible and that a good level. But since I will be gone for around 18 hours obviously the humidifiers will probably have run out of water and the humidity level will be much lower then 50%. I'm guessing when I come home on Monday morning the humidity levels will be down in lower 40s at best. of immediate concern regarding this topic is that I have several phalaenopsis orchids That are just ready to bloom. I have swollen buds and branching spikes and I know from experience that fluctuations can cause bud blast. Am I worrying or over worrying this thing here? So we're talking around 50% to lower 40s, in a matter of eight hours and then going back up to 50%. of course when I get home . The orchids I am speaking of are very special to me. Actually they all are but... in writing this I realize that regardless of the answer I still have to do the double shift So whatever happens with my orchids it's going to happen. I guess I just want to know ahead of time.
