Could someone please recommend a good brand of fertilizer that is high in potassium? When should I begin applying the potassium rich fertilizer to my pumpkin? Thanks!

Go to www.fertilegrower.com they have a site just for giant pumpkin growers . They have a 5-10-40 that works great. also have a 15-0-15 with calcium for a foliar feed that will keep your plants green until frost. ..........Paul

once I have fruit set I stop feeding the roots the 20-20-20. I only feed the roots the 5-10-40 & seaweed plus fish. By using the 15-0-15 with calcium as a foliar feed you can keep the leaves green & healthy without putting to much nitrogen through the plant to inhibit the fruit growth..............Paul

Hi everyone, since I now have fruit on the plant, should I continue with the miracle gro 15-30-15 plus the fish fertilizer, or switch to something to mainly help with the growing of the fruit? I dont want to give too much nirtogen and have my leaves be the only thing to grow well. Thanks everyone in advance for the help.
