Default RJS CalMag Paph-MX-6.0..Goood, Bad, or DEADLY?

I came up with my own paph mix fertilizer

Im Out of collected RW now and I move to tap water. It is running 7.5 to 8.0 on the PH scale.


Of course that doesn't tell you whats in the water only the condition the waters in when you tested it. From all I have been finding leans to the water and soil being slightly on the acid side of the PH scale for most plants to be able to use the nutrients you are giving it. High PH means to me that your are wasting fertilizer on your plants bec they cant pick it up or pick up very little. Your just watering them not FEEDING them.
So I made me some Paph mix from stuff around the house..So you guys and girls that are good at this let me know here before I use too much

RJS PAPH MX-6.0 (1 gallon)

1/4 teaspoon Orchid Plus 20-14-13...the standard weakly weekly base I use monthly on paphs and weekly on everything else.

1/4 teaspoon SuperThrive...everyone uses this stuff,just vitamins.

1 tablespoon Pelletized Lime...for Calcium needy paphs, remember they live on rocks

1/4 teaspoon Magnesium...Epsom Salt..Dont drink this yourself unless...supplies magnesium to the paphs being a small ingredient in OP bec Im giving it only 1/4 the full dose. I supplement magnesium.

1 tablespoon Lime juice...ahh this drops the PH to 6.0 of my MX Paph mix enabling the plant to use what I have just given it...

1 gallon of crappy tap water..any tap water will do just test the PH and add Lime juice to get the level you want..I wanted 6.0 so thats what I got


and if this doesn't work Margaritas For Everyone!!
