Martin Motes in his book says Vandas need huge amounts of fertilizer. He says seedlings need even more. I think 75 ppm nitrogen at every watering won't hurt them.

ES, since you grow lots of Vandas in AZ compared to my arid NM, I am going to follow your advice re fertilizer.
In a previous post you mentioned the tiny seedlings need lot of N, and suggested six days on followed by one day of pure water, Does that also go for the one that is more mature with abt 7 or 8 leaves and good roots???
