My only real concern would be if the plants stayed wet.

Semi-hydroponics IS ebb and flow, but operated manually and less frequently, don’t you think? The biggest difference, in my opinion, is that the water in S/H is “one and done”, rather than being shared (potentially with pathogens) in a common, repeatedly-applied reservoir.
Thanks Ray. I was being lazy re-poured the drained water from the S/H plants back over that orchid or the neighboring ones.
This AM I check that drained water for pH and it was greater than 7. In the future I will toss all of that and keep my well water 5.5 to 6.5 nearby and with weak
20-20-20 and I have switched from trying to lower my over 8 well water with vinegar instead of citric acid power since it is easier for me to measure.
