Broke As A joke!

[JimmyTheCack]

I recently purchased a Paph Fair Venus in a semi hydro set up. I know that these require a scheduled nutrient bath... or whatever! However I have no idea how to do this! Do i simply water it with my miraclegro fertilizer water like I do with some of my other orchids?
If so, how often? Is it ok to leave the roots in the water for a day or two til' the next watering?
The miraclegro is 30-10-10
I also have jacks 20-20-20 which I use for my Vanda
My finances are limited, and I would like to give the plant a good feeding asap. HEEEEEELLLLLPPPPP!

Assuming the plant is in true semi hydro culture with a constant water reservoir and not just potted in LECA, you'll need to dilute your fertilizer. This link will give you the ppm - Fertilizer PPM Calculator

I'm not familiar with the fertilizer you're using but Ray recommends 100-150 ppm nitrogen for a MSU type fertilizer. Further info here - Semi-hydroponics Orchid Plants T5 Lighting
