I’ve been growing these bad boys for about 14 months, Novos. The tallest one is about 12” tall, kinda spindly. I took djinnerator’s advice and switched two of their soils to 70% lava rock and 30% acid lover’s soil mix. I spray them with Aquafina about 3 times a day. Water once a week usually also with Aquafina (my tap water is around 400ppm disolved solids). Haven’t tried feeding too much, just did some very dilute 9-3-6 today. Have some fish emulsion but haven’t tried it for awhile. I put them under an LED grow light by GE and they seem to like it better than the Philips LED I started with.

I am using the balanced spectrum. Would the flowering spectrum be better? If not, would 2 of them be better than 1?
Any other tips or advice?
Thanks in advance!
I use this with the HLG-50. Not sure if it will work with yours.

Mix of destilled and tap water, always with orchid fertilizer you recommended, (https://www.amazon.de/dp/B084PRM9CS/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_M5ADTN13H2KZGC6Y7T8D), rarely some liquid iron and trace element fertilizer and Epsom salts, often mixed with nettle leaf brew added to the water against pests and for additional nutrients. Feeding water PH is around 5, would be higher so I always lower it to 5 with Phosphoric acid
My seedlings are only about 6 weeks old, with the last one just sprouting, so I still have them in a propagation humidity dome with a cheap light. Was thinking of getting something like this when I finally re-pot them: https://www.amazon.com/EnFun-Updated-EF-2000-Compatible-Hydroponic/dp/B08C7DYMR9. Will also stick them in a grow tent, as it’s very dry where I live.
