Is this what I thin it is on my Onc. Heaven Sented "Sweet Pea"??

Ok, so just the regular 20-20-20 then?? I have 20-20-20, 11-35-15, and 35-11-15. The 20-20-20 is merical gro, and the others are bettergro.

20-20-20 is fine, I would use that at a maximum of 0.6tsp per gallon with a monthly flush of plain water, or you could go down to half (or even less) that at every watering.

If you have others you can use them up, that's what I would do, but calculate the mixing ratio based on the nitrogen value.

For the 11-35-15 I would go with a max of 1.2tsp per gallon (with a monthly flush) or half (or even less) with every watering.

For the 35-11-15 I would go with a max of 0.4tsp per gallon (with a monthly flush) or half (or even less) with every watering.

****Update!!!!****

Heyy all!!

Its been awhile since I last loged in. And I wanted to update u all on my Onc.

Well the "flower spike" grew about an inch more and sadly it looks more like a new psudobulb than a flower spike.

I'll post pix later in the week.

Thanks all and happy growing.

Sorry it turned out to be a growth... but growth is good

I think you should turn the auto correct off...It is getting way too hilarious. Don't spikes look like mittens? This looka like a new leaf to me.

On Phals and some other orchids yes, but on Oncidium types not so much.

This was an odd one, looking at it again it could have gone either way.

I know the one on a phalaenopsis looks like a mitten but an Onc.??

I'll have a new pic later.

Here is the pic of the new growth. (I think)
