Oncidium spike questions.

[Optimist]

I just got one from Larrys in october. It is ready to bud as well. One spike is ready, the second spike is still forming. I put all of them in very cold wind for a few days. I also water them more because they are flowering. My miltonia buds are also bloating and coloring, they should pop ona week. I think putting them outside for a while it is chilly (as low a temp as they can stand) will lead to buds also not being stingy on water while buds are forming, nutrients (i got some kelp and superthrive) and more than usual sun. As it is winter all orchids but phals are under one flurescent grow light and open window light. I amnot saying this is the best formula but as i have been reading, it is what makes the most sense.
