I have my seeds under a 60 watt grow light. Is that too strong for them?
How close to the light are the seeds?
Depending on the genera it may not be too strong for them.Really the only way is to find out the 'foot candles/Lux' that they require and then get a light meter to measure the light at the given distance .If the seeds are from the Odontoglossum alliance they require 280-305 foot candles at 17.5 inches
They're phal seeds about a foot or so away from the light.
they will require very much the same light levels as I mentioned above withe temps of 25degress C
I am about to flask my first seeds. It is dry seed and I will have enough to do about four or five flasks of each of these two: Neofinetia and Cattleya intermedia (don't know what the species of Neo. is). I am unsure on the lighting. I have three photography lights which are 220-240V 5400K 35W 50/60Hz. Does that mean anything to anyone?? :what: Will they work?? I understand that the full spectrum of light is not necessary. Any comments, questions or quirky clarifications warmly welcomed.
