Thank you Roberta!
It definitely would be a lot more efficient to not have to water EVERYBODY with RO water. Right now I'm just using it in my humidifiers so I don't have the white dust of minerals all over my house and on my New Cymbidium because she has some brown leaf tips that seem to be from over fertilizing/mineral build up.
Obviously, the seedlings take substantially less water so those guys wouldn't be nearly as bad to do a half and half mix of RO and tap water to start just until they adapt to it...IF that's even necessary....
I was pondering it tonight and decided that since I'm not positive, I'll check C&H's website to see if they specify and if not, I'll probably do like I would do with changing a dog food and bring it down to a more common range to start by mixing my well and RO water and try easing them up once they become acclimated to their new environment! That way, if I start seeing them not doing so well I can more easily pinpoint if it was the water or not. Or at least that's my hope!
It definitely would take quite a few more gallons of RO water every week to water ALL of my orchids though!
