Since starting my orchid journey last year this time, I use the Barrinas as well and they are great. All my orchids are growing strong root systems and blooming like crazy this year. I've watched all your beginner's series and they have helped me sooooo much as I never thought I could grow them here in Georgia (US) like I did in Florida. I use what you suggested and couldn't be happier. I have graduated from Phalaenopsis to Vandas and Cattleya and they are blooming too! Thank you for your tutorials and all content.. You are appreciated!

[@christineflygirl]

On your recommendation Dani, I bought the Barrina lights (I only have the white) and they work very well. I only put 2 for each shelf (in the Millsbo cabinets) and even then, I ended up turning one off over some phals because I think it was too much light, the leaves were turning red. Under the shelves with 2 lights, I put my cattleyas and my vanda. I also have them on 12 hours a day, on a timer. The nice thing too is that they give a little heat, so the temps inside the cabinets are about 24-25 degrees, whereas the temp inside my home is 21 degree. So at night, as the temp drops to 19 degrees or so, I do get the temp difference needed to stimulate the flowering. Very happy with Barrina lights.

[@joehisel5966]

Okay I just clicked off a live press conference I'd been waiting for because I saw this video's description and couldn't not click! I've never used grow lights before, but I've never followed your moves without having great success so I reckon I'm gett'n me some grow lights!

[@Luthea]

Meanwhile I be like: "f-yeah! My phalaenopsis gave me 6 flowers! 🤩😎" 😆😆😆

[@heathersgoinnuts]

I also have barrinas. My orchids are growing amazingly. I have some orchids under GE grow lights and they are not doing as well. I think I need to move them under some barrinas. I too have the one ikea glass shelf that you showed first and I also have the indoor/outdoor wood shelf from ikea. I use the cable ties on the wood shelf and the double tape on the glass shelf. I wish I could show you pictures. It was from your suggestion that I got these lights and I couldn't be happier with the decision. Thank you so much!

[@lucascook7930]

I use these in a curio cabinet where I keep cattleyas, a dendrobium and some phalaenopsis. They most definitely grow very well under these!

[@FarringtonChris]

I use Boostgro 22" LEDs they are full spectrum 5000K and 660nm red also available to daisy chain upto 4 units. $19.98 at Lowe's. They come with thin wire with clips. I'm hanging them about 20” above the leaves of my plants, mostly Phals and they seem to love this light. Lots of root and leaf growth going on.

[@atlramona]

I read this as I just got home from Lowe’s. I know what I’m buying tomorrow.

[@humoody]

For how long do you keep it on?

[@FarringtonChris]

@@humoody 10-12 hours, more in summer

[@FarringtonChris]

@@randallbenson7966 the grow lights I purchased can also be linked in series, both of mine are linked. Because they are LED they are low voltage and I think mine say four can be linked. Read up before you buy

[@TechHoundDad]

This was very helpful!

[@timothykimbellii511]

Watching this video compelled me to look again, and when I found the 4-pack, canceled my earlier order for some daylight CNSUNWAY, having used their 6500K to good effect; excited to see how these work with my plants!

[@momocheung6494]

Thank you ❤

[@Fanysday]

Your orchid collection is impressive!! How many hours per day do you keep the lights on for them?

[@rosalynnvillaescusa4341]

I would love a video showing the set up with your ikea cabinets!

[@benabdalahmelah]

Vanilla orchid update pls I BEG U!!

[@nanci357]

I do use barrina also, they sell them, 2ft,3ft and 4 ft, found out what the lumen are for each, 2ft , 700LM, 3 ft 1200LM and 4 ft 2900LM , hope that helps.

[@Malexxx29]

Your collection looks amazing! The glass shelves and the lights make your orchids look so luxurious! So are you using the light during the day? When exactly do you turn the lights on and off? I've never used growing lights Some tips would be much appreciated.

[@BeautyOver70WithLea]

I just subscribed to your channel and love orchids… Lea

[@nikushim6665]

I just use full spectrum mars hydros (i think they were originally marketed to grow cannabis) plants seem to do just fine with them.

[@brandonkillian4664]

I use t8 288W full spectrum grow lights for all my orchids. They all do great. Some spikes get too long and have to move to the window to finish flowering haha. BUT I also need a oeceoclades spathulifera and literally cannot find one anywhere in the USA. Help me? 😂 ❤

[@jjhbjhbhjgjhgfjhghjg]

When would you fertelize your Orchids in Summer or Winter does it matter when they are under grow lights ?

[@Amasonstar22]

Thanks for all the info!💗 How about the... idk what they are called, the raised display thingie you have some of your tolumnias on? (5:17) What are those called and where did you buy them, if I may ask?

[@sannekemartha7737]

Hi Danny, thanks for this video !! I grow my orchids under LED TL tubes. Each shelf has 2 tubes, one with a colortemperature of 4000 K (a bit yellow) and the other tube has a colortemperature of 6500 K (slightly blue-ish). Can they be compared with your Barrina grow lights ? I mean what are the best growlights? Kind regards !

[@suecollis9388]

I have found that my house is too cold for phals. I would like to know if anyone knows where i can buy battery or usb heat lamps. I bought grow lights but need the warmth for them also. I had 9 plants and due to the cold the roots are dying off. Love your sessions on phals.

[@sorryIdontGetIt]

Do they emit UV light?

[@grace12784]

Anyone recommend a grow light that is on a stick to be inserted into the pot or clipped?

[@kellywheeler7194]

What about lepenthes and pluethalis type orchids ?

[@p_morty]

Was hoping you'd bring it up in the video, but how long do you leave your lights on throughout the different seasons of the year? Follow up question, do you give different orchid genera differing amounts of light with regards to how long the lights are on? Or do you simply keep orchids closer or further away from the lights depending on their light requirements? Thanks!

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, lights stay on the same way all year round, no difference 😊 also I don't move the orchids or chose them based on the light requirements. They all pretty much get the same thing since it's not as natural sunlight, so no fear of leaf burns 😊

[@lindapawlowski7720]

I purchased feed me time released fertilizer. It is in the shape of little pebbles. Do I mix with water or just poor on the roots? I emailed rePotme but have not received an answer.

[@triciah59]

I have the yellow barrina lights. I wish they sold longer connections for them. My shelves have to be too close for them to connect and I’d like to be able to have more room for taller flower stalks.

[@rezwanaakhtar7607]

Hi Triciah59, they usually provide some small connectors in the box that can be used to join multiple cables to make a long one for deep shelves. You might check the box the lights came in :)

[@triciah59]

@@rezwanaakhtar7607 I do see the connectors that allow you to connect two lights together to make a longer light but don’t see how it would allow the connector cords together. I’ll see if I can figure it out.

[@rezwanaakhtar7607]

Yes, you're right actually. My bad.

[@LizE2654]

How do you get good air circulation when plants are in a cabinet?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, no need for windy conditions, it's very warm in the cabinet 😊

[@trishp5420]

Help! I can only afford one set of the grow lights. Should I invest in the Pinkish-White OR the Yellow? I wish they sold sets of both. Thanks for your help!

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, whichever you like best :) the orchids will be ok, they have a daylight one too, that will be good for everyone!

[@Theoldindie]

will these work for high light loving orchids like Cattleya ?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, yes they bloom my Cattleyas with no issue, Vandas so so :)

[@Theoldindie]

@MissOrchidGirl Thank you! So to be clear with Vandas not so much?

[@lauracondon4497]

How many hours a day do you all keep your grow lights on?

[@familhagaudir8561]

3:30 Twelve (12) hours a day. I also set my timer to 12 hours all year long, with a 50W LED panel, and the orchids under it grow and bloom well. Though most of my mini-Cattleya leaves basically scratch the plastic cover of the panel to get enough light. I'm impressed she gets Tolumnias to bloom so far away from the 2X10W LED bands. Maby I was just unlucky with my plant, or the Barrina LED bands are just better. The one exception is the Cattlianthe Little Hazel, which turned too yellow, so I lowered it like 3 or 4 inches down. The Phals about 8 inches down. When they spike they can't stay there, except the ''novelty'' ( type polychilos hybrid ) which makes short spikes. Too bad they aren't as easy to find as the ''standart Phals'', because they come in extremely vibrant colors and strong, pleasant smell.

[@lauracondon4497]

@@familhagaudir8561 Thank you for your response. I have only one orchard that I have had for 4 years. It had only bloomed when it was first given to me. I repotted it and fertilized it, but no flowers. Fast forward to the end of last year, I was given an Aerogarden. I was growing lettuce and thought I might as well put the orchard beside it. I have beautiful flowers now because of the lights. The lights stay on for 15 hours though. Do you think I should move the orchard for 3 hours a day? Can too much light bother the plant? Thank you for your help!

[@LS-gg9yd]

Hi thanks for your videos on using grow lights. I recently put some of my orchids under 53 par grow lights that have 3 color options, blue, red, or white. You can use separate, in combos or all three at once. I noticed since I increased the time to 6 hrs from 4, my oncidium type orchid leaves appear to be thinning. Has that ever happened to your orchids? What do you recommend?
