Default Questions from a beginning orchid grower

I have been looking into growing orchids via hydroponics. What do you guys
think? Any one know were I can get a small cheap system?

Also grow lights for Phal? Help speed growth? Waste? What type should I get?

If my orchid is blooming right now and the spike is still growing out with a
small new bud should I fertilize? I got this Schultz orchid food that says
1/4 tsp for every gallon and then a book that says what ever the package
says do half that amount who should I follow? Also can I add cold water to
the plant or do I need to microwave it so it is lukewarm?

Misting: How frequent do I mist? What part of the plant do I mist? How
much should I mist? Should I have fertilizer in the mister?

Watering about once a week right? How do I water, do I pour water all
around the plant till I feel it's soaked then pour out the excess water in
the tray? or do I add water to a tray and let it sit for 45 minutes? Or
something else?

Thanks
Chris
