Default A Variation on K-Lite

I've used K-Lite fertilizer exclusively on my plants for about 12 years. I was recently in a discussion with the fertilizer pro's that suggested that paphs and phrags might do better with a bit more ammonium-based nitrogen.

5% of the nitrogen in K-Lite is ammonium, the balance nitrate. The factory blended a batch for me that's 15% nitrate, and I am experimenting with it.

If anyone else would like to play along, I do have it available.

I don't see why it shouldn't.
