[@CloudforestVibesOrchidsMore]

Thank you so much!! Just wait until you see the next few coming into the tank! I finally checked another off my bucket list!! 😝😝😝

Still thinking about getting one of these to replacing my marahydro light. And you seen what my marshydro grows...

[@robertforrest7956]

I like that it's wider and covers area more evenly. 👻

[@CloudforestVibesOrchidsMore]

It’s a great one….. you may want to look into the 600 or 1000 (with dimmer) depending on the size of your tent. My next unboxing video is coming soon…. You’ll see what I mean!! Thanks as always for watching!! Talk to you again soon!

[@CloudforestVibesOrchidsMore]

@@robertforrest7956 it really does!! The Samsung diodes are really amazing!

[@toddstropicals]

@@CloudforestVibesOrchidsMore It's just a 3x3. I can grow 1 big plant or 4 smaller sized ones.

[@hillbillyorchids]

Wow! Super nice! I can't believe that Cuthbertsoni seedling is still alive! I think its the only one that made it! Congratulations! 🤣

[@CloudforestVibesOrchidsMore]

Lol….. so far….. not out of the woods yet but it’s still trying to grow. Only 2 little canes left! Thanks for watching…. I hope all is going ok! ❤️

Hi Bobby I have to say you have sone interesting orchids collections. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful weekend keep safe and happy growing : ) Reah

[@CloudforestVibesOrchidsMore]

Thank you so much for watching! My little tank of oddballs keeps growing…. Just got a few new ones and several more on the way! Just wait until you see the “special” Dendrobium in my next unboxing video! 😝😝

I will only start using my Spider mid next month when I bring some of orchids indoors. I feel a bit nervous about the proximity of the light to the plants. I will have to go by trial and error, I presume. A shade cloth seems to be working well for you 🤩

[@CloudforestVibesOrchidsMore]

So far the shade cloth has been a big help! I want to pull the one piece off the front and maintain a very high light section but need to really sit and think first about rearranging the plants to suit that setup. Overall it’s a great light and I am VERY happy with the results. I have a new one coming soon…., hoping to get that video out by the weekend! Thanks for watching! Happy growing!

[@robertforrest7956]

It's great your getting more than you expected!! I looked at their 1000 watt light but got the one from a different company as it had features that for me are what I liked and can use. Being disabled, the remote feature is a big plus, and fully able to dim and built in timer. But Spider Farmer is an AWESOME company with excellent products IMO!!! I'm still jealous of your collection. 😅 HAPPY GROWING.... 🎃

[@CloudforestVibesOrchidsMore]

I can totally understand why you chose another…. Those features are hard to beat! So far I like this fixture a lot, but it’s definitely been a learning curve with so much more light. I think I’ve found a happy place but may still scale back the shade cloth if I can to get them as much light as I can without causing negative reactions. Thanks as always for watching!! You’ll like my next spiderfarmer video, coming soon!

[@oscarshah480]

Great video. I think I might have to get myself this light :)

[@CloudforestVibesOrchidsMore]

It’s definitely a great fixture! Way stronger than I expected and very easy to use. Only thing I would change if I could is, I wish it was dimmable. But what’s a little shade cloth? :)

[@oscarshah480]

@@CloudforestVibesOrchidsMore fair. You might be able to add an in-line dimmer. I know they make them for Twinstar LED’s, and they might work for this fixture as well

[@CloudforestVibesOrchidsMore]

@@oscarshah480 great tip, I will have to look into that! Thank you!! 😊

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

I'm shocked that the Bloomify cuthbertsonii pulled through because that was one sad sad plant. Now maybe one day if you move and have more space, you can get a Pleurothallis gargantua. Might as well have the biggest member of the genera, to show that they aren't all miniatures.

[@CloudforestVibesOrchidsMore]

I LOVE the larger Pleurothallis orchids but some of them get truly large! I have a few on my list but cyanaea is at the TOP! One day…. Hopefully next spring…. I’ll have a lot more space! I too am surprised the little cuthbertsonii is hanging on, but I’m telling you, the tank is like a mythical healing chamber for set back and recovering orchids. They really do bounce back well in there. Now I just have to wait a few years to see if it’s the correct color var! 😝

[@AT-iu3ye]

Hi, this is probably a dumb question but I am new to the hobby. With the current tank set up you have growing, do you have to go and water the orchids? I know that some orchids require daily misting. Please let me know :)
