Is this fertilizer ok?

[jreidsma]

I used the calculator and it said to use 1-3 teaspoons per gallon (depending on the watering schedule), and the directions on the fertilizer says 1/4 teaspoon per gallon. Assuming I put in the stuff right

So the directions on the fertilizer says 1/4th teaspoon per gallon, so 1/8th would be better for the orchids?

Here is the info on the other two fertilizers:

Then I wrote the orchid miracle grow food above.

1-3 teaspoons does sound like a lot. i am usually at 1/2 teas/gal
