Default getting ready for cooler days

what do i do when i still have new growths and half mature psuedobulbs? normally i would start to ease off on the watering on those orchids that have matured but some are still growing. i am in central mexico.

It's my understanding that if they are growing, you treat them accordingly. But if the light is less, then less fertilizer and less water to compensate. I hope someone corrects me if I'm misinformed.

The temperature is what I use to dictate how much water is needed. I fertilize year round but water less when it is cooler.

Hey Amber...we moved to Savannah, GA to get out of the cold Northeast and I never thought I'd say this, but yes...I'm SO ready for some cooler temperatures. We've gone from hot and no rain for months..
