[Solved] Leftover bloom booster - use or not?

Hi,
I got this bloom booster fertilizer, I don't remember why, I guess I thought it would help them bloom. I'm honestly not sure how to use it in the first place. The bag says every 4th watering or...

I would've thought sunburn too, but they are on leaves that are shaded by other leaves, and the last one occurred after I brought them in. Also they spread and eventually make the whole leaf yellow....

Hi, I have an old dendrobium that I badly neglected during the summer, a NOID from Walmart. I let it get really dry a lot during the summer and it stayed outside in sometimes 100 degree heat, mostly...

Wow, I didn't know they were that tough. Nah, they're used to it at this point. I probably should've increased the water to match though. I missed a couple of days there when it was really hot and...

Thanks.

I think I'll try to talk my boyfriend into it when we get more money. The T5 sounds good. Would I need to adjust them to it somehow? How high above them would I need to put it? Also, would they bloom...
