OK pumpkin savants, I went to OSH yesterday to find some high potassium fert. (That's what I should be using this time of year, right?) But, they had NONE that was higher in potassium than nitrogen. I believe that I have already used too much nitrogen in the form of manure, and that is why I don't have very many females (3 total to date). Do you think that this is true? Where does a person get fert that is NOT high in nitrogen? Thanks in advance!

Lowes? Is this something that OSH will carry or Home Depot or someplace like that? Thanks for the advice!

Schultz makes a 5-10-40 combination I think is perfect for this time of year. It may be called Tomato Food or something but it comes in a red box and is very inexpensive. Good luck.

I like the 5-10-40 from Enp mentioned a few posts ago. It comes in bulk and I go through about 25 lbs of the stuff in August.

Thank you all very much! I can't wait to see if it works! (Insert image of me maniacally rubbing my hands together here.) :-)
