Sweet Tooth autos / LED / Soil - First Grow & LED experiment

I actually began this an experiment with low watt LED lamps and bulbs, plus a simple soil setup with leca and perlite.

So first, I used a 12W bulb for a few days..



That bulb got overheated or something, would never turn on again, so I switched to a 15W bulb which was even slightly smaller..



That didn't give quite enough light as I know it. So i bought a 90W UFO to couple with that 15W bulb (they cover slightly different frequencies anyway)..



I try to keep the humidity between 40%-70%, the temperature is constantly between 21-24C, I adjust the PH value of the water with lemon juice to ~6.5 and have a fan on a timer on a 18/6 cycle along with the lights. The fan only runs every half, on every hour, during that cycle. I stress them off completely during night. No light and no wind for 6 hours.



Wow, it may be sunny tomorrow?! :) ..This is the status of the plants anyway..



Any suggestions or feedback to the setup or the plant(s) would be greatly appreciated.

That sounds good. Thanks. All I know about how they should look and act are from vids and pics, so that's good to hear.

Does anyone know if I can use orchid nutes for the vegative phase? The ones I got a hold of are: NPK 2-2-2.
