Speak up if using K-Lite/Low K ferts…

[froglet]

I don't use K-lite myself. I talked to someone who has won several AOS awards and he was kind enough to share his recipe with me so I've been using that since I started.

He told me amongst other things to use a lot of potassium so that is what I have been doing.

Is this the wrong thing to do? His plants look amazing which is why I thought I would copy him.

This k-lite seems very popular here so I am hoping someone can show me an orchid grown using K-lite so I can maybe compare the results?

I can see people seem to be getting good results otherwise they wouldn't carry on using it.

I'm a bit confused. I compared the K-lite at 25 ppm Nitrogen concentration to what I use and my formula contains exactly 90x more K than K-lite.

So it's actually currently phalaenopsis spiking season in the northern hemisphere at the moment and my phal is producing 2 spikes which I am happy about.

Can someone show me what their phals are up to compared to my phal being grown using 90x less potassium, ie using K-lite at 25 pm N? I assume everyone here grows a phalaenopsis or two?

Maybe I will be convinced to try this K-lite formula. If my phal can produce 3 spikes next year that would be even better.

This is my phal which I have been fertilizing daily for the past year.

I hope it is ok to show the opposite of what is being discussed here? And if anyone could show a plant grown using K-lite to compare to that would help me decide the most what I want to use.

Thank you. Happy growing everyone.
