I am trying to get a couple of stubborn orchids to spike. I want to order a couple of grow lights. Does anyone have any suggestions of grow lights or things I can do to encourage the spiking?

    My dendrobiums and Cattleyas are under three Soltech lamps, 30 to 36 inches above the plants that are on for 11 hours a day. All the plants mature enough to flower do so regularly. I keep my phals in shaded west window and the Oncidiums in an east window. There was a similar post on here about stubborn bloomers and how people deal with them. The solution most applicable to my situation was leave the plants in the cold windowsills to help provide a cool down period. In the past, I’ve placed them in other spots in particularly cold periods. Keeping my fingers crossed the golden princess blooms this year 🤞
