the beauty of nature
hmmm... coming from toronto itz hard to get enough light in the wintertime; especially in the gloomy winters... so, im considering a move to lights
- the spacing (adjustable) between the top and bottom of shelf is 20" (i prefer this height b/c i can fit my phrag giganteum)
- i am thinking about one 4' T8 two bulb fixture
- with one GE or Philips Plant & Aquarium (i cannot rmb the wattage for either...) and one Philips Natural Sunshine (i believe this is a 32 or 40 watts)
- thinking about 12-16 hrs of lighting a day
will this be enough lights to get some guys to bloom? b/c i know they probably dun get enough light in the winter and so they cannot initiate blooms properly. for the summertime, i can easily get enough natural sunlight to supplement, winter i cannot
i grow:
phal equestris, mannii, cornu-cervi
phrag maria glanz, conchiferium, kovachii, sorcerer's apprentice
paph lowii, delantii x moquettianum
neo falcata (but this guy blooms the way it is so not an issue with it)
aerangis kirkii
cirrhopetalum makoyanum
