A summary thread on lighting

[Niki]

Ross,

thank you!!!! You saved me LOADS of time.

I'm committed to growing some orchids in my very dark bedroom. I just purchased a tray so that I can maintain humidity for the orchids. We installed a outlet above the fireplace (orginally for a TV, but now we're putting orchids there instead) so I have everything I need to give the orchids light. I haven't done enough research to figure out what my light needs are, but I'm hoping to grow mainly phals and maybe one dendrobium up there.....
