Couple of questions: 1) How far do you place the lights away from the plants? 2) Do you mix red/blue bulbs? 3) What do you recommend for phals/paphs? I thought I was going to have this issue resolved last year, but unfortunately it didn't happen the way I wanted...so here we go again! Thanks for your help.
