I hope it is ok to show the opposite of what is being discussed here?

There are many threads here where folks show blooming orchids and use KLite. Also many threads here where folks show beautifully blooming orchids using other fertilizers. Just browse through, or click on a person's name who says they use it (like me) and you can view their pictures in the threads, or some (like me) have a gallery that you can go through.
Fertilizer is one very small aspect of good growing. So comparing someone else's phal to yours is apples and oranges. Could be different climate, different culture, different genetics of the plant.
And fertilizing your phal on a daily basis? I don't think there are many here who could show you an orchid, phal or otherwise, that is fertilized daily. That's a lot of wasted fertilizer in my opinion.
Of course it's okay to show the opposite of what's being posted here, but do note that the original poster was specifically asking for answers to two questions 1) Do you use KLite and 2) for how long, instead of a discussion of the pros and cons of KLite. If you want to do that comparison thing, I think you'd get better results starting a new thread instead of on this specific one.
