Hey has anyone tried out this? Plant-Prod 15-15-30. If so...in what stage of development did you bring it on? I'm thinking now would be good as main is about 10' and have about 8 secondaries...no sign of any flowers yet but everything takes about 2 weeks later up here,(mountains) then brings growth on heavy with hot weather. I'm thinking early development of healthy sink pathways. Could be totally off mark. Thoughts? experiences?

HI BC DEB --THE 15 15 is ok the 30 is a bit to much--i would rather see something like > 9 18 9--- you are getting ready for bloom potash is a riper--craig

Hey Deb, I would not be using that now as Craig said, it is a finishing fert. If you have to use chemical ferts, then go with the plant prod or miracle grow 10-52-10 a couple of times really light to encourage flower growth. Much later in the growth stage I'd then throw on a bunch of 0-0-60 and hope she does not blow!!! That being said, my PB is only 577.5lbs......and I've blown up a few in late August/early September from too much 0-0-60.

miracle grow just changed their ratios in their ferts..... the bloom stuff is now the old 15-30-15 that used to be the regular miracle grow... the " regular " stuff is now something like 24-8-4. The 10-52-10 is gone.

I bought some 10-52-10 made by schultz and it was a few bucks cheaper than miracle grow.....go figure.

Hey! Thanks for all the replies! I've been using 10-52-10 since seedling stage. I guess what I really wanted to know was will the higher K+ value bring on blooms or just enhance fruit development. Why wouldn't I want to go that high on K+? I can see too much N and floppy foliage but not too sure about negative effects of powering out on K. I hope you guys are getting better weather than we are you North Van Boyz. I'm ready to build an ark! By the way...everyone's diaries are looking great.
