Feeding at 25ppm N/K-lite…?

Many are in sheath now, with a couple beginning to fill the sheaths. Had one of my C. harrisoniana put out three growths this year, which is about triple what it normally does. I think you’ll be happy with this fertilization rate.

Good to hear, as half of my collection so far are Catts, most standard size. I’m doing exactly as you are—Kelpak/Quatum in addition to K-lite. Do you combine them for your monthly dose, or apply seperatly?

Individually or in any combination of two or all three is fine.

I combine them, nothing competing in the two products.

There are synergies.

Fertilizer feeds the plants AND the bacteria from Quantum-Total.

Kelpak stimulates, (and feeds, to a limited degree) both of them, as well, and enhances nutrient uptake in the plant. Before they closed their Montreal operations, Inocucor Technologies used it in their production batches of probiotics.

The bacterial exudates from Quantum-Total do all sorts of things to the plant - growth stimulation, nutrient and fuel contribution, and protection from pathogens.

Those synergies can take advantage of-, but don't require all three to be used together.
