LED lighting for Terrariums
Does anyone have advice on which LED setup is best for growing Orchids in a terrarium? I'm about to bring in some Phal's, Cybidiums, and Cat's for the winter and am thinking about setting them up in terrariums because I've got limited space. My concerns are
1)which LED combination is best (red,blue,orange, white) for healthy growth
2)light intensity for the different species (1500 ft candles for the phal's to 5,000 for the cat's) and how to achieve it using LED's.
I prefer to use LED's to help reduce electricity costs so the lowest wattage that can be used to adequately keep my plants and my wallet happy is appreciated.
Would the 90W FULL SPECTRUM TRIBAND UFO HYDROPONIC LED GROW LIGHT work? How many would I need to adequately supply the lighting needs? Do any companies out there make LED lights specifically for terrariums (I'm converting an aquarium into a terrarium and would like to re-use the aquarium hood light assembly if possible).
