Fertilizer suggestions
 

I'm out of my usual orchid fertilizer (schultz's) and am open to suggestions. What are you using and what have been your results? I will be putting in superthrive or kln if that matters. So come on people, spill your fertilizer secrets.....:)

I use Growmore urea free 20-10-10 at 1/8th of a teaspoon per gallon with nearly every watering and have had good results.

There are so many variables to this question I think. I've been working on this as well and I think you have to start with a clean slate. First, you have consistant water quality, and then it's on to fert options. In other words, idk.

Agreeing with the comment above on other variables, but that said... I use a lowK MSU fert from Ray, at 1/4 teaspoon per Fallon with each watering. I also add in a root growth supplement (started with KLN but switched to Kelpak seaweed) during active growing season every other watering. I flush with plain water once ever month or two.

Well, just recently started using Grow More 20-10-20 @ 1/2 tsp / gallon

Have previously used Grow More Bromeliad fert at same dilution with good results

Have also used and liked Gubler's

Orchid Focus Grow and bloom by Growth technology. Great stuff, no dilution required. Made right here in MI. Great stuff!!

I use MSU for well water and add a little Pro Tekt and KLN. I get the MSU from First Ray's but when it is gone I might switch to his Solo product and see how that works. I really like what I'm using now, it seems to work well.

I use Kow Chit soup.
We pick up 5 or so dried patties in the field next door and put it in a 35 gallon drum.Cover it. Stir daily for +-/ 2 weeks until there is no more odor, put it in the backpack sprayer and hit them once a week. These are all mounted on trees so your mileage may vary.
I imagine one pie in a 5 gallon bucket and then dilute by 50% would be fine. I use it on everything.Not just orchids.

Oh wow so many ideas! It really is hard to choose. I Lol'd at the chow kit! I don't have any cows nearby so that one is out, but the others are doable. Thanks for all the ideas.

I just use balanced fertilizer 20-20-20 at quarter strength every 2-3 weeks. But that's just because I never did any research on ferts yet. Would be also interested to see what others are using and what works the best.
Thanks.
