I am just an orchid hobbyist, trying to grow and bloom these wonderful plants. Most of the orchids are in the greenhouse, and the rest are under the patio attached to the main house.

Orchid Detox - Notes from 07/27/2008

These are notes that I am copying over from my paper notebook.

07/27/2008:
* Prepared experiment logbook (this is what I will be referring to as THE notebook from this moment onward)
* Prepared fertilizer feeding schedule (see previous post)

August 2008 is set up as a "light" fertilizer feeding schedule. Feeding will only be performed in August 2 and 30.
This light feeding schedule is to allow the plants to consume or expend all residiual reserves of unwanted substances before regular feeding schedule commences.

Unwanted Substances
* This phrase is only for the purpose of this experiment. Although these substances are not considered harmful to the plant, I do not want them on the plants during this experiment window.
* The experiment is to measure long term plant performance without these substances.
* For the purpose of the experiment, these substances are listed:
1. Superthrive
2. Sea Weed Extract
3. Pro-Tekt
4. Epsom Salt
