What do you do when the plants you grow under lights are in full bloom? I'm asking because I grow mine in my basement and down there they enjoy 68F nights, 75F days and 50% RH (I used to grow my chids in my solarium but the heating zone that heats the room broke and it'll cost us a small fortune to fix it so we're waiting for spring and money!). People who know me know I live at a high elev and I struggle to get any decent humidity except the moment after it rains. The moment after that it's back to no humidity! lol

So many of my phals are coming into full bloom and keeping them in the basement stinks! I wanna see them! Good thing is, I spend lots of time down there enjoying them, but I want my wife to enjoy them too.

So what do you guys do?? Do you have a special display or make any special provisions for your plants going from ideal to less-than-ideal situations? I'm considering keeping the chids out during the time we'd enjoy them and return them to the wracks at night when the lights come on. Your thoughts?

Thanks!
