Achieving Day/Night Temperature Differential for Indoor Setups

[JKeys]

Hi all!

This question has been on my mind recently, as I consider moving my plants to school with me. I have a somewhat haphazard indoor setup. Plants live in a 40 gallon topless tank, exposed to light from a single window (I thought the tank would help with the humidity -- it's really dry in these rooms!!). I'm thinking about bringing my grow light in, it is a reflective fixture with two t5 bulbs. In any case, I know many of the orchids I am growing would do well to have a few degrees C of temperature difference day to night... At this point, I am not sure if the ambient temperature of the room really fluctuates that much. I'd be interested to hear any strategies you have of achieving this, grow lights or not.

Thanks and happy growing!
