Lord, no, never count the costs. That might interfere seriously with buying
more orchids or paraphernalia!

Thanks for the info. I'm just starting buy lights and have 4
fluorescent tubes. I'd love to have what you've got, but I think I need
to call in an electrician and have another circuit dedicated to my
growing area. Sigh. Sometimes I think that raising polo ponies would be
a cheaper hobby. I wonder if anyone ever keeps track of how much their
hobby costs (plants, plants that die, bark, etc.).

That one grows under a combo light... 400 W Metal halide AND 400 W HPS.
800 Watts total. My brightest area. It needs bright light to bloom. I
actually had the plant for close to 20 years and only bloomed it once at
about year 15 (guessing). Once I got the brighter lights I bloom it
regularly. Twice in 8 months this time.
Of course I was a beginner when I got it and had no idea it needed more
light than my other Catts.
In another part of the basement I have a 400 W. MH light and 12, 4 foot
fluorescent tubes right next to it. I can bloom ALMOST anything there.

That just makes it a business. And I don't want to be in a
losing Business.G So I will keep forgetting the costs.
Don't forget the mental health benefits of all the beauty....
must be some payoff here.

Maybe a little hint of lemon
smell. It smells like a slightly unripe lemon. Not too exciting as far
as I'm concerned.

Well Steve, I thank you for that.. LOL I can just picture you all smelling it,
and then asking, well contest #1, what is your guess.. Too cute..
