Amazed how good this test is for the most part. I know the plants have struggled with boron a bit earlier but it seems the exploding gourd issue is perhaps related to phosphorus and copper and high potassium...
Ive been foliar feeding bloom booster but I for some reason it doesnt move the needle much it barely notices. I'll try a root drench.
The gourd has been a bit slow. According to this test, low phosphorus is the culprit and I don't doubt it. I'm glad I got the test done... Ive actually been doing an excellent job of "guessing" and "suspecting" and dosing everything (except copper) but its exhausting, and its nice to finally know.
Even with the copper and phosphorus, the problem wasnt really that I was guessing wrong, it was more that I wasnt applying it to the correct part of the plant. As I suspected, I will have to drench these into the rootzone rather than relying just on foliar spraying.
