Dizz,

Try higher light for Dendrobium x delicatum. I've seen both parents of this natural hybrid, Den. tarberi (syn. Den. speciosum var. hillii) and Den. kingianum, growing in high light in situ and in cultivation. Low light will discourage blooming.

Den. delicatum
 
Thanks for your reply Pat...much appreciated.
Plant is presently under Sun Agro 430watt......I think I need to pay closer attention to the seasonal requirements Fall/Winter.
