LED Light Length

[JAB]

For those of you whom use solely LED lights for your orchids, how long do you have them 'on' for? Do you vary with the seasons? If so how?

Thanks

from 11 hours in December to 16 hours in June

It probably depends on how strong your light is. I've been using 13h/day for most. But in the area where orchids share with seasonal carnivorous plants, I cut it to 11h/day from Oct-March.

Well I just acquired a custom made LED rack with 4 strips per shelving unit. I will be putting the orchids in a different location where all they will get is LED light (now I have them in a North window with T-5's and a couple small, insufficient LEDs). Not sure of the exact output but they are STRONG!

Thanks guys,
Jake
