Hmmm, and I thought you might have a tiny speck of knowledge that would prove me wrong. But alas, no speck.
Well lets look at your claims then.
Your contention: Orchids get most of their N from N fixing bacteria.
*A quick google search found: Quote ''The trasnfer of nitrogen from bacteria to orchid roots has not been shown'' (Dressler and Sinclair 1990) So at the moment, pure speculation on your part.
Your contention: Potassium may be toxic to these bacteria in a greenhouse environment when given high concentrations of K
*There is absolutely no evidence of this anywhere I have looked. There is however evidence that micorrhiza inocculation is NOT affected by K. So at the moment, pure speculation on your part.
Your contention: The "fact'' that orchids obtain most of their N from N fixing endophytic bacteria shows that we should adjust K down and/or N up to bring the N/K ratio more in line with what nature is providing. Just as K-lite does.
*For the sake of argument, let us assume you are correct about the above. You have failed to provide any evidence showing that the N available to orchids at more than 10 times the K as is the ratio in K-lite.
So at the moment, pure specuulation on your part.
Yes I can't prove you are wrong but the fact that you continue make claims based on your ''gut feel'' without evidence is preposterous. Also, you say that the ''real'' knowledge of orchid nutrition cannot be found on the internet and it is up to growers to come up with the the answer, yet you continually post page after page of litterature from the web in an attempt to back up your claims however so far you have completely failed.
It's fine to speculate Lance but don't try pass speculation off as reality until you can prove it.
Some fun things for you to prove: (a recap)
*Orchids get most of their N from N fixing bacteria which is not shown in Stemflow figures.
*K in regular fertilizer concentrations is toxic to the above bacteria
*The N available to orchids in the habitat is 10 times the K.
