Last update.
Although I have a million things to report including getting rid of the reddening to some extent I can tell I haven't been able to convince anyone.
I was watching a youtube video with someone losing some leaves on their orchids and asking why. I know why but I also know said person from Orchidboard and know they would not listen. So why even ask..?
My experiment is far from over but it's become obvious this is one of those subjects like nucear physics.
You ask 8 people on the street if they could build a nuclear reactor and al 8 would say no but that doesn't mean a nuclear reactor can't be built.
But who wants to talk about building a nuclear reactor. No you ask 8 people on the street and all they will want to talk abotu is how many cups of coffee they will be able to make from having one.
An unforseen consequence of this experiement is that growth has dramatically increased. But pseudobulb size has increased too! Who knows what that will result in. I won't be posting here anymore, my last update.
I will wish you all luck here, I tried to help but it is clear people would rather just have a nuclear reactor but not know how it works. So it's annoying but I'm sick of getting told constantly by people who don't understand my aims that I am talking to a brick wall and nobody is listening.
All my observations are wrong but a picture tells the story better than any opinion - in my opinion so here I will show an example of a pseudobulb that has practically doubled in size since changing what I was fertilzing.
So ironically the bulb is still purple but I think in time that might get greener, that's not really important, the important thing is the experiment was still a huge success and inadvertently things are growing stronger and bigger than ever so I am looking forward to the results this year. I will let you all speculate and wonder what trying something different to the herd might achieve.
Good luck everyone and happy growing even if I will be taking my growing elsewhere from now on
There was an article about a reddit user who spent a year talking to himself but honestly after sening a year on orchidboard I think he did alright, he didn't get criticized once in an entire year
