It probably is, as you said, the new normal. Commercial growers have the perfect balance of light, humidity, watering, air flow, temperature and fertilizer for optimum growth. Most of us can't duplicate that perfect environment. In fact us home growers basically have one environment and the orchids need to adapt to it. About all we can hope for is to create an environment that is adequate but not perfect. Your fertilizer schedule sounds fine to me and liquid seaweed is loaded with micro-nutrients so your orchids are probably getting good nutrition. For plants grown indoors, I think once a month for the seaweed is fine. I think your orchid looks healthy and I wouldn't worry about smaller pseudo-bulbs right now.
