Hi All.
I'm always experimenting on my mainly multifloral paph collection. I mainly keep to feeding my Akerne feed, 13-3-15-7-2 normally around once a week at around 400 u/S strength. My seedlings get watered every other day at around 100 u/S. I use RO water and grow in orchiata with added perlite only. The last couple of weeks I have added calcium nitrate solution to my akerne and increased the strength of the final feed by approx. 25%. To be brief, I have noticed a real improvement in growth in most of my plants, that goes for the large ones and all the seedlings. They seem to be growing significantly faster and look healthier than they were before I started this. As I'm not good with calculations, does this final solution sound OK to continue with or are there any disadvantages.
Thanks
