Hi Ray.
Yes I've been abusing my poor plants :-(
I won't mention the low humidity or intervals between watering.<g>
I do have some supplemental lighting. For some of the plants (the
ones who behave, that is). I know it isn't enough, though.
As for the recommended amount of Dyna Gro - I'm dosing at one quarter
teaspoon per gallon, at every watering. Prior to now it was at the
same rate maybe once a month or so with Miracle Grow 15-30-15.
And now I know why the brassidium isn't flowering - I've been
insulting it! LOL
Thanks!
Bob
