new member, hi to everyone!

[elvinwei]

i think i recognize a few users from the other forums that i post on (mainly gardenweb and theorchidsource, just started on slippertalk)

i have been keeping orchids for about 2.5 years now. started out with some oncs and phals, but then wanted to keep draculas and have recently been bitten by the neo-bug

i grow indoors under T8 and CLFs only, because my bedroom virtually gets no sun.
that's right. my 38 orchids are all on a shelf in my bedroom.

Wow! I think t8's are fine and would like to hear from someone used to growing under these bad boys. I personally use t5's but t8's are great.

hi all, i am in Emeryville, which is across the bridge from San Francisco, it is sandwiched between Oakland (infamous for the number of murders) and Berkeley (infamous for the number of hybrid cars and liberals that eat organic soy beans and don't bathe)
