Feeding at 25ppm N/K-lite…?
I’m getting back into growing orchids after an 18 year absence, growing outside in a small shade house along the No California coast.
After much research I’ve decided to feed with K-lite from Ray, distilled water, at 25ppm N, at most/every watering. Ideally with a pH of 5.8-6.5.
This is radically different from my former growing experience (in a green house) where I fed (with Dyno -Grow) more like 200ppm N during active growth (and pretty much ignored pH), flushing crazily in between feedings. Doing this I had great success growing/blooming Catts, Oncid alliance, Phals…
The whole 25ppm N, as well as the K-lite 12-1-1-10Ca-3Mg formula, at every feeding sounds logical (natural) to me, but it does make me nervous. Would very much like to hear from those that have implemented this weak but frequent feeding regime and your experiences…
