Is it SOP (sulfate) or MOP (muriate)
SOP ~ 0-0-50
MOP ~ 0-0-60

Were you low, medium or high on the last soil test?

from what ive read...go easy she JUST MIGHT BLOw...Ive read the 0 0 60 should be used very close to the end of the growing cycle for the added boost not as a regular growing agent...Perhaps Tremor could add more to this????

Without seeing soil & leaf tissue nutrient test results we're shooting in the dark but...

One pound per 1000 sf now would boost soil levels by 22 lbs/acre.

2 lbs per 1000 sf 4 weeks before harvest would give a little late push.
