MSU Fertilizer Formulated for Orchids ?

[K-Sci]

Edit: Please read the thread before posting a comment. This is a question about an eBay seller's claim to have a new MSU formulation that is not sold elsewhere - 17-9-18.

I've never heard of this (supposed) new MSU Orchid formulation. Is it legit?

"Orchid tap (well) water fertilizer 17-9-18 From formula derived by Michigan state University. use 1/2 tea/ gal This is a second version of the fertilizer. The first was developed for hydroponics and found worked well on orchid species. The second was developed for some hybrids with more than normal flower count as it limited flower count."
