I have got the same plant and its in bloom and about to open! I'm very excited. I have a couple questions though.

1-The bulbs have darkened on mine which I have come to the conclusion is from the lightening. I think the plant is ok as it went into bloom shortly after being introduced to the new lights. Have any of your plants bulbs darkened?

2-I'm starting to get some dark spots on the leaves of the plant as well as on one of the spikes and buds that I believe are a fungus or bacteria. What can I do about this?

3-One of the bulbs has lost its leaves. Is it wise to remove the bulb or should I leave it?

Thanks for any info or experience you can share about this plant as I am completely new to it.
