How old is your plant and what are your growing conditions?

Got my plant same time as others last fall for the project (late October). It had 2 teeny spikes started. One got broken off and a third (or second) developed afterwards. Looked like this http://www.orchidboard.com/community...o-alba_011.jpg

It has been near top of my orchidarium with approx 1800 foot candles light from a bank of 4 - 48" t5 florescent lights for 12hours, winter and 14 hours summer. Temps get into mid to high 80s F during summer and high 70s winter. Fertilize with 125ppm MSU formula fertilizer every other day (soak with a sprayer). It gets misted with pure RO water every 4 hours during lights-on cycle for 5 seconds each misting. Hope this helps. Yes it stays pretty wet during "day" and dries off at night.

It sounds like consistency is a big requirement to get awesome plants and flowers, that is the main thing I have not been able to do.
Thanks for the info Ross.

Becca, great growing! Your plant looks so much bigger than mine! Its awesome that you're going to have blooms again! Can't wait to see those pics!

Jim, that looks like one happy 'chid! Looks at those new roots! Great growing.

Nice growing Becca and Jim! Becca I can't believe how fast your spike has developed! :shock: Maybe it's making up for the fast fading flowers last bloom cycle. My spike has probably doubled in size since last month. It's still not showing buds yet....not even close.

You know Becca, Ross and Jim you were this close to being my friend :rofl: Sorry I'm just envious! GREAT GROWING

Becca 08-04-2008 06:06 PM

yeah...I decided to stick my nose up in the air at Ross when I found out his had like six spikes on his....lol....it just isn't fair! Just teasing you Ross!
