I've heard a lot of people say that their orchids had become deformed, grown strangely, or other odd occurrences with SuperThrive. I've used it in the past and have never observed any type of abnormal growth, or abnormal flower development. Maybe because I don't use it often. I actually don't fertilize my 'chids often at all. When I do it's using 1/4 tsp in a gallon of distilled water, with about an 1/8 tsp of SuperThrive. This might happen once a month or every 2 months. I've never been great about fertilizing my 'chids. But, they also grow strong and bloom pretty regular, so they must be at least somewhat happy.
They aren't happy right now, because they were growing in a tank that was not big enough and they were mounted. I just moved, so that wasn't a happy time for them, and I haven't watered them in weeks. They are probably really mad at me right now.
