I cannot justify 700 :)
Only reason to go for LED in my opinion is if heat is an issue: refrigerated case for cool growing. In all other cases t5ho is great.

Decide what you wanna grow so you figure out an approximate foot candle count.
1000lumen/1sq foot = 1000 foot candles

I grow my plants like this:
Phals, Masdevallias ~1000 FC
Cattleya ~ 2000FC

I am in the process of creating a cold masdevallia tank.
How many t5ho's would suggest for that?
I imagine 4 should give me around 2000FC, which is a good number for masdies.

Should I try to blast it with more light ?
I could place it next to my eastern window where it would get about 4h of direct sun.

Actually third.
I am getting a small hint of a spike as the old one is finished flowering.

I am almost worried it will exhaust itself to death flowering.

The new spike is just maturing. When you wrote the last few flowers were withering. New spike should open in 1-2 weeks I guess.

Can do if you wish. Don't you think it is overkill ?
The plant is not that rare. The local orchid greenhouse has a few left and I saw more varieties at the yearly big orchid show.
