If you keep up with the fertilizing it will be fine. The vanda won't stress itself out it will rest when it needs to.

Great to hear! It is loving my t5 fixture without a doubt and with my humidifier keeping the room at 75% RH it is doing well with the watering. I soak this plant every day, or nearly so, for just a few minutes to an hour or so and the bucket holds water that is fertilized higher than I would have for other orchids. I should also mention there are three fans keeping the air moving.
I have plans on moving my grow area into an enclosed and smaller room. I think it'll be easier to manage the conditions and because it has a floor drain, much easier to water. I'm looking forward to having the vandas watering from sprayers from above and see if I can get the long roots back. This one has a mass of roots but they are shorter, much shorter, but also very fat.
