I bought kelly's corner MSU formula for tap water, I use that with half of the recommended dose with Organics Rx Sea Kelp 100 Seaweed Fertilizer in the water

Whatever it's getting, it looks quite happy and healthy. Light is the biggie here... Not enough light, for not enough hours, is a really common factor for non-blooming in a healthy plant. Probably the hardest thing to give it at this time of year, so be patient (and give it what you can). In spring, it gets easier to supply that, mother nature cooperates. Just move it to higher light gradually so that it has a chance to adjust. (I say this, having toasted more leaves in March when the sun intensity can increase sharply as the angle increases and bursts out of shade, than at any other time of year)

The pseudobulds are thin, and the roots are not these of Cybidium... I think Probably Mawillaria or Harpophyllum.

Finally, I think that it is Brassia gireoudiana

In fact, now looking at the photo in a computer, it is obvious it's not a cymbidium.
Something in the oncidium alliance for sure. I'm not very experienced in oncidiums, only on cambrias. I give them the same treatment as the one required by oncidiums.

Agree bright light and a bit more water Dry leaf tips are a rule of thumb indicator of being dry and lacking Fertilizer. With that amount of foliage it could even be an Odontoglossum.

Doesn't look dehydrated to me... old pseudobulbs tend to get wrinkled in this group of orchids, the new growth looks great. A few brown leaf tips also don't seem to me to be any problem, just hard water and perhaps a bit too much fertilizer. This looks like a happy, healthy plant. No way of knowing much more about what it is until it blooms.

From last week I put this one in basement (where temperature goes around 52-60 F range) hoping to get spike in 6-7 weeks

Those Oncidium flower when they want to ... if you grow orchids, must be patient. Sometimes species like sphacelatum take years under best conditions to flower, but once they begun, they flower every year even if in a corner, forgotten and nearly dry.
