Orchidarium under lights LEDs, Floraled.
 

Orchidarium under lights LEDs.

Hello, I present my new orchidarium, which operates under lights LEDs, are the following measures 70cm wide x 70cm high x 48cm deep (27.3x27.3x18.7 inches) is a clear plastic mini-greenhouse.

I have the mini greenhouse equipped with:

1 LED light bulb 40w floral frame UFO style, features -> SpectraSPOT 36 - Système d'éclairage aux LEDs pour la culture de plantes en intérieur | SpectraSPOT, is the type VISU which reproduces the light so that the green color of plants can be seen. Here you can see the difference -> Les spectres Visua et Grow | Culture sous LEDs

1, ultrasonic humidifier brand CHICCO, fitted with a water bottle and a plastic tube to carry the vapor into the mini greenhouse.

1, fan 15 watts.

1, plastic tray filled with a row of "Ex-clay" and filled with a little water.

Timers with a photoperiod 12/12.

Covered inside MYLAR.

Hygrometer and a thermometer. It marks a 70% humidity and 24 ° (75.2 F)

And of course the orchids.

I would like, to tell me the Herror which are seen, and some possible solutions. If power will be enough light, the details could be improved, and so on.

I leave the photos so you can see it.

Wow, cool setup. I want to get some led lights, for my birthday. Some say led lights won't work, others say they do. I hope everything blooms for you!

This topic will go by monitoring the plants, I hope to do well in this light, a month will put pictures of the plants so you can see their status and evolution. My money is on LED technology if we do not support some never evolve.

a greeting!

Looks nice but I would say there seems to be a lot more light intensity in the middle than on the sides of the grow box. I think things may work if you rotate the plants.

Thanks for your recommendation, I will consider.:Tup:

a gretting.

New photos!
 

Orchidarium From inside, I removed the 2 largest orchid, a Dendro nobile, and a hybrid Cambria because they were so high that he could not give them good light, now living in a window, being just two, can be them well and leave the rest of the troops in the orchidarium.

It is nice to see your whole setup. How do all your orchids seem to be doing? They look good.

I have a suggestion getting to see your whole setup. I would have the humidifier hose up higher and more towards the middle of the roof.

Hi, thanks for reply, regarding the humidifier tube placement, this position so that the humidifier to run the fan runs too, so that water vapor is evenly distributed.

If not make myself clear.

The humidifier tube I can not crank up and focus this light and dripping over and could short-circuit the spotlight.

Regards.

I see, I took a better look at your pictures and get it now. How are you orchids doing? They look well.

For now it is too early to know how to evolve, it will take a while longer to see if their behavior is affected. I can say that if you are growing and taking many roots, thanks to new conditions much more humidity, which lived before.

If all goes well, will be a very good crop in the world of LED lights.

Anyway, I'll show pictures of their evolution.

Regards.

Update of orchidarium.
 

Update of orchidarium.

First I am very pleased with the plant "Dendrobium phalenosis" and its incredible development of roots, leaves and stem. The plant suffered an attack of fungus and worms, which ended with all the roots and half of the plant, could save a bit of it, did not have much hope in it, not having a single root, but eliminate the infection of fungus and worms, and leave her alone, taking care to see if he recovered.
From the mother plant in a last attempt to pull a child survive, this son has grown almost all his life in the light leds, and this beautiful, many roots much growth, amazing what my eyes day after day.

Also incredible growth of leaves and pseudobulbs of plants, Anoectochilus formosanus, Prosthechea cochleata and Bulbophyllum otoglossum not stop growing!

The other plants roots and leaves are developing more slowly but steadily.

I put new photos of the orchid as it goes, I added a new fan, to give more drafts.

Very nice growth. The LEDs look like they're working for you. I'm getting some soon myself.

New developments.

2 months ago, when mounting the orchidarium together gave me a Phalaenopsis orchid without flowers, in a shop, a flower stalk to begin to grow, as the change of life was rough, became a keiki, which is growing larger and strong.

Today I discovered orchids reviewing the same orchid that he is dating a new flower stalk!
I'm very happy that the LED lights work very well.

This orchid came with a stopper made of sphagnum moss, to remove.
This developing many new and old roots roots grow again.

Actually, this orchid as all others, are very happy under lights LEDs.

A greeting!

Everything looks great. My setup is almost just like yours. I have a question for you about your fans. Do they blow directly on your orchids?
Also, is your humidifier a cool or warm humidifier? I have a warm humidifier and find it can make my greenhouse warm if run to long, but I don't want a cool one to make my greenhouse cold. I just run my warm one for 2 minutes. I'm going to get a timer to have it run for 2 minutes every few hours.

Hi, thanks for your interest in my Orchidarium, the phalaenopsis are already blooming days ago.
Fans point to directly orchids, one only works when connected the humidifier, which incidentally is cold steam. In this way the steam so distribulle more evenly.

The other fan, runs in cycles of 15 minutes there, 5 minutes if not 15 minutes, etc etc.

Now I have some winter heating with a heat radiating cable for terrariums. Of course it is connected to a thermostat, which is only active if the temperature drops below 20 degrees celsius.

In addition, soil is a layer of "Ex-clay" wet.

The system works perfectly, flourish, grow, no mushrooms, no pests. They are very healthy.

Well except a "Paphiopedilum bellatum", since my ferret is placed within the Orchidarium and abuse of this orchid. : S Luckily it did not affect most orchids.

I hope you understand this so bad translations from Spanish into English.

A greeting! :waving

Yes, I got it! Thank you for your help. I found I can get enough air movement with the fan pointed at the ceiling without drying anything out to leave it on all the time.

I'm glad!

There are pictures of your Orchidarium? :D

a hug!

The pictures are not the most up-to-date. It now has a fan mount at the top blow air up and around the sides. There are more orchids too. I also included a picture of a Vanda Robert's Delight "Dark Red" that was bloomed under my LED lights!

That well organized!
Blooms under LED lights are just as spectacular than under natural light. Your beautiful orchid "Vanda Vanda Robert's Delight" Dark Red ".
I am very happy with the LED lights.

A hug.
