That looks great!! :) Happy plants. What lights and how many are you using?

fishmommy 05-26-2012 03:50 PM

just a single HPS fixture in there....running 400 watts (used to run 600 but found that too much)

Gage 05-26-2012 04:07 PM

Very nice indeed! How do you water your Vandas and how often?

fishmommy 05-26-2012 04:08 PM

I soak them in a bucket daily. I try to do > 30 minutes each (I work at home so can rotate plants through all day)

camille1585 05-26-2012 04:48 PM

Cool that you can bloom Vandas under that light.

fishmommy 05-26-2012 04:57 PM

yeah, gotta have the vandas, no matter what the electric bill!

Wow, lotta work, but I'm so glad you can keep Vandas. They are such a joy. :)

Nice growing area!

Wow - that's awesome! I'd love to have a closet filled with orchids! :D

fishmommy 05-26-2012 09:25 PM

I don't have a greenhouse and I live in the Northeast, so this is my solution LOL
