    Fertilizer Question...

    Exactly. And I think when urea breaks down being non polar, first it brings the pH down a bit and then brings it up to where it started. With nitrates and ammoniums, at some point you have to bring that pH back and thats a guessing game. And since it's not salt nor a mix of another element, it...

    Fertilizer Question...

    I dont really think so. My N is only 100 - 125 ppm. 20% of that is nothing compared to the growth of the plant. I can see this in fast growing vandas, phals and multis. But I don't want to get to this exchange, we just need to be careful sharing opinions that may not help others and may start...

    Fertilizer Question...

    I would not discount urea, it is 80% of my N feeding and my plants are growing. And I would not discount 20-20-20 formulation either. Just be mindful of what water you use to mix it with for pH, CA, mag and micros. Check the iron, it might tilt the balance between other micros, Mn and Zn. Just...

    Paph anitum culture

    If it helps, cooler months in the Phils is between Dec and Feb. But it does occasionally rain in the forest. This is follwed by high light/temp and drier spell from March to May. Rainy season starts in June. In higher elevations, the temp can go lower by 10 to 20 F, so 50F is possible. A lot of...

    Malipoense is in bloom again

    Very well grown. So it does need a temperate climate to grow well. Do you cut down watering when it's cold? I have one and I can't make them grow big... Thanks

    Has this LED lamp enough lighting for Paphs???

    Thanks. Using my app , that light measures 150 PPFD at 24 feet. Yes, it seems a lot of light and it can burn leaves easily. Where as...my 70% shaded greenhouse outside...reads way more than 150 but but very shady the plants are so green. I can really see they grow better outside.

    Has this LED lamp enough lighting for Paphs???

    Justin, I'm using this one too. How close is your light to the top leaves? If you don't mind. Thanks.

    Very well done. That FCC is awesome. The WBW has potential when the plant grows bigger.
