Phal spikes directions and the usefulness of t5's
I have a number of questions here about my phalaenopsis spikes. I have a V3 that is in my East window you will see the pics, and I know that the spike is moving towards the glass. I have a T5 light fixture hanging above the plant. And no time at all is going to be taller than where the plant light is hanging. I would like to be able to either turn the plant so that the swipe will end up maybe going straight up or move it underneath my other lights set up, where the lights are 4 feet away and won't be in the way of any tall spikes. I think I would have to swap this v3 out with my double branching spiked orchid that is under my LED lights. I call this one twin towers. She is ready to open her buds any day now. Is this whole thing a bad idea? And just as importantly is this T5 jumpstart light that I have hanging in front of the Eastern window even doing any good actually? I hung it there as supplemental lighting. But I don't really know if it's of any use. It's an in an Eastern window as I said. And the T5 hangs about 15 to 16 above. The smallest orchids. I think I'm going to have to retry the photos when it's not so sunny outside the window.
