I was thinking the same thing. I NEVER use more than 1/4 tsp per gallon, or I get deformed new growth. And I don't use any while flowering. I've lost a few spikes too many from that.

putting it all in the proper places here my Superthrive bottle says add 1/4 teaspoon for every gallon or 1 drop per small cupful. and that should have read 1/4


Water TDS EC PPM PH
TAP 150 211 147 8
Full OP+ 1250 1600 1150 6.2
1/4 OP 700 890 630 6.4
PaphMx 1050 750 525 6.0
RW 230 330 235 6.6


The Orchid + Mix's TDS and EC is almost exactly what AnTec labs rated it.

I could leave out the magnesium/calcium in the Tap water used with the Orchid +,
The RW could use it and the same for the Pelletized lime I can use that as a top dressing like its been said before for my calcilous paphs...

The lime juice is not necessary as a PH buffer bec all the PH seems pretty much in line with availability of nutrients when added with Orchid+ and the RW is already low PH..

My monthly PAPHMX is good stuff well within all limits..

(and I find it impossible to post HTML Excel Tables. I have the code but it wont come out as a cool little table. Comes complete with the tags showing.)
