Hi- I grow mine mounted on cork and tree fern with sphagnum padding about 2-2 1/2ft. from a 450 watt sodium halide. Even my Brassavola nodosa won't take that close to the light. What colour are your leaves? They should be getting enough light to be medium/medium-light green with possible red tints along the edges. And what kind of fertilizer are you using? Try a more balanced fertilizer- not extremely high in Nitrogen. I have experimented with putting a few of the mounts in a 5 gallon fish tank on a shelf close to the lights--pretty good success. It's hard to get them as close to the lights as they want to be without the heat from the lamp cutting down on the humidity (In my house, at least). Let me know if that helps... Terri
