My pumpkin is just past day 60 and the plant was originally germinated and planted roughly roughly 150 days ago. The plant is still in great shape and I've been continueing with Agro-K and also with kelp spray on a semi-regular basis. Am I wasting my time or is the plant still uptaking nutrients beneficial to continued growth for another 20 days or so?

Thanks/Glenn

Glenn,

As long as that plant is healthy, it continues to uptake nutrients. The whole idea behind Agro-K is plant health. A healthy plant=a healthy fruit.

What you have in the soil is now most important during late-season weight gains.

I'm sure "The Old Man" will chime in here shortly.

The plant will intake the foliar feed as long as its healty i suggest you up your rates to 4oz a couple times a week useing extra water wetting the plant down so it drips on soil---also mix 3oz to gal and spray vc vcp on pumpkin morin and evening-- cover with sheet morins and blankets at nignt I have new info for 2009 about daily rates and great success -i will release soon after weigh offs----as i allways say --NEVER LET YOU PUMPKIN GO HUNGRY OR GET SICK DUE TO THE LACK OF MAINTS SPRAYS LIKE VC &VCP--GOOD LUCK- craig

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback and info. I've never sprayed the vc or vcp on the pumpkins so might try that.
