Default Phalaenopsis fertiliser

Hi everybody,

I'm currently getting my head around all of these different fertilisers etc that are needed at various stages of growth of Phalaenopsis species. I've got some seedlings that I deflasked of P. lobbii they're currently in a compot with sphagnum moss as the potting medium along with some other species that are more advanced (9-10cm leaf span) - they're similarly planted in sphagnum moss. All compots/seedlings are in a heated proagation tray with temperatures in the range of 23 - 28oC and high humidity (there's also a computer fan to aid in air circulation to discourage mould). Anyway, I'm in Australia so I don't know how that impacts on the presentation of the data but I have a fertiliser that has the figures:

N 17.7%
P 7.9%
K 16.0%

plus trace elements of:

S 2.8%
Mg 0.06%
Fe 0.05%
Mn 0.24%
Zn 0.03%
Cu 0.02%
B 0.02%
Mo 0.0014%

I'm wanting to encourage vegetative growth to get the seedlings/compot established... would this fertiliser be suitable for the old 'weakly weekly' approach? I was going to apply 1/4 strength to the deflasked seedlings and 1/2 to the 9 - 10cm leaf span seedlings
