Red Blush on Cattleya

I was partially re potting some of the Cattleyas that are under the LED grow lights and I was amazed to see the leaves showing a red blush. According to what I've read, this may mean that the catttleyas are at the top end of its light requirements. Wow, and I thought I was gonna have to get more lights. It hasn't been a month yet, so I'll keep watching.
The Chia Lin "New City" has grown new roots and is looking good. I took one of the cuttings and placed it into its own pot. Because my Chia Lin's has had a few set backs, I doubt it will flower any time soon. But hurray for new roots! Both "PCT" and "Red Rose" have sheaths; so I now wonder if they will bloom under the LEDs.
I moved my phalaenopsis "Blushing Bride" to the kitchen sink window
to make room for the newly potted Cattleya.

Added Mylar Back to Plant Stand

I went to TapPlastics and bought some 2mm Mylar and glued it to 1/8" MDF (41" x 19.75") and mounted them using 10-32 screws behind the plant stand. I hope the added reflected light makes the orchids happy.

Timer & Dimmer

Rewired

Spent most of Sunday rewiring my plant stand. Wanting to simplify the dangling cords and find a way to reduce the noise of the AC fans, I went to Home Depot and bought an inline dimmer, more electrical cable, connector nuts, crimp tool and stuff I didn't need (scissors and ratchet wrench) & went to Minton's Lumber to get more 6-32 nuts.
The dimmer worked like magic. I can now control the speed of the fans and therefore the amount of noise they make. I managed to reduce the amount of cord down to just 3, from 6. IT wasn't easy but I got it done in one day; I nearly damaged one of the lights when trying to clear a solder filled hole from the circuit board, I applied so much heat that the printed circuit came apart. Oops! Thankfully, it didn't completely damage it and it still works. I ordered a 6 outlet power strip from Amazon.com that I now think I don't need. I expect delivery of a digital timer so I can put my plant stand on a schedule.

Here is the nutty diagram I drew the night before.

Keiki

One of my Phalaenopsis (Sun Tye Diamond) put out two Keikis and I repotted them each into their own 4 inch Rand Aircome pot. I have one by a window and one under LED lights. It would be interesting to see how they fair in a few months.
Update 11/14/07: Interestingly, the one I had by a window died but this one is still okay.
Update 11/15/07: Both Keiki are dead. The small roots weren't well developed so it rotted. Me sad.

LED Grow Lights Plant Stand

Got the AC fans and put the whole thing together Nov 6th.
This is where I bought the LED lights: http://www.homegrownlights.com/14wled.html

Made some screw ups assembling the lights but nothing that more time couldn't fix.

The fuse assembly wasn't a tight fit and the lights would go out if the electrical cord got tugged.
Will have to fix that.

Very Magenta isn't it.

View from the floor. Its cool but not sure if the lights are bright enough?
