Well, it looks like i actually may have a lil one growing on my vine (better way late than never). During our heat wave i pollinated 3 and it looks like 1 maybe 2 took. Now, how long should i wait to beign the fertilizing? I was thinking of trying a fish/seaweed foliar within a day or two. Is that too early? How about drenches or granulars? Any help would be appreciated.

I agree, on the foliar, but I sure would not use synthetic, until at least basketball size.

Got it, thanks!!! Synthetic meaning something like miracle grow?

Safe organics like fish, kelp and molasses. Broadcast of low number NPK organics or mulch like spoiled hay or last falls tree leaves.
