Orchids?!!?

Europa,
Not to distract from the Discussion, but I noticed you grow orchids? me too! coincidence, I think not, a couple of people here have related hobbies. Just curious what kind of setup you have for yours? I have a probably 20 orchids of varying sizes under a 400w 6500k MH light, some odontocidiums, cattleyas, one odontobrassia, one or two phals, one specias valenosa (sp?), and two dendrobiums. I have them hooked upto a timer, which mists them 3 times a day, and have some exhaust fans. Some of them are doing better than others, mainly because the medium is all screwy, some are in all grow rocks, and some are in all bark, so I need to go back and repot all of them some time, and figure out a better way to mist them all equally without spraying any one too much. But, they seem to be doing well. It's Sharry Baby blooming time, my favorite Oncidium hybrid, smells like sweet chocolat :-) yum. Best, Ocelaris
