For the record. I do not knock synthetic fertilizers, remember folks, I sell to farmers. As far as our OMRI product goes, our farmers use this product to cut their liquid nutrient sprays and pesticide sprays by 50-75% and build up their microbe populations. Just trying to improve your food and our Earth, one spray at a time.
Our products are developed to enhance farmers methodologies.

It doesn't really make sense to use potassium chloride for agriculture in general. A much better source of potassium would be potassium nitrate and/or monopotassium phosphate. Potassium hydroxide (pH up) is also almost entirely potassium by mass.

I like that, a pragmatic approach. I believe that there are good things that come from both the synthetic and organic spectrum. After all, we do need to feed the world, and organic farming is by far too inefficient. Yes, ORMI is a fallacy in many respects but its' avocation of maintaining soil integrity naturally gets my vote. On the other hand, since we do need to maximize production to pay the bills and minimize deforestation, GMO and synthetics fits that bill, but sometimes at the detriment to our ecosystem.
You state "our farmers use this product" present tense as if you have a Chemwise product on the market now with those numbers?. If so what is it? Empak? I'm chomping at the bit lol. The reduction of any pesticides, "natural" or man-made by 50-75% is remarkable.

We sell to farmers via Coastal Fertilizer & Supply, that is the company that we hold the OMRI Certs under. I am the Operations Manager and Salesman for Coastal Fertilizer. This past season we sold over 500,000 gallons. In total we have sold over 2.5 million. Mostly in reusable 275 Gallon IBC totes. Last Thursday we sent 2,300 gallons out to a citrus grower. It is a growing product, and if things keep going well in the citrus industry, which has been nearly destroyed by the greening virus we will be sending it out by the truckload. That's the hope anyways. I am trying to bring this product and others to new industries, one being the hydroponic industry.

You're only using it for the last week or two. Its used in agriculture for when there's a drought coming, I believe it'll cause the plant to retain more water. Main draw back of course is it'll kill off beneficial microbes and probably make your ash turn black. Besides some "hydroponic" companies don't care if its actually proper thing to give to the plants as long as grower thinks its working. Just take a look at Top Load, Phospho Load, Flower Dragon. Bush load etc or feeding charts that have you giving the plant PK boosters every nutrient feeding.

Reducing K in the last few weeks of flowering is actually one of my newer ideas, which is based on some of what you're saying.
My theory is that a higher concentration of K will cause buds to retain more moisture, even after drying, and thus reducing K in the last few weeks might cause the buds to dry more.
