IF MY EARLY CULL IS A INDICATOR OF RIND THICKNESS FOR THE REST,, THEN IM DOING OK. IT WAS SOLID.

SO WHAT WILL MAKE THEM GROW SOME MORE?
THE BACK PATCH HAS GOOD GREEN DEVELOPMENT.
IT COULD HANDLE MORE "PRODUCTION".

WATER IS PLENTY.WITH GOOD DRAINAGE.
VINE/S ARE STRONG,SOLID,AND GREEN.
THE SKINS ARE SOFT STILL.
4 ARE AT A SOLID 300+.

COULD I TAKE THE RIND FROM THE CULL AND FIND OUT WHAT ITS LOW IN?
KNOXVILLE HAS UT AG EXTENSION SERVICE.

DO THE PUMPKINS ABSORB SUGAR/CARBS?

KELP? WHERE DO YOU GET SEA WEED IN SE TENNESSEE?

IVE BEEN USING 20-50-20 IN A DRIP SYSTEM.
LESS THEN THIRD STRENGTH.
I ADDED A LITTLE EPSOM SALTS TWICE NOW.
IVE LAID OUT BONE MEAL ALONG THE VINES.BLOOD MEAL ALSO.
I ADDED BROWN SUGAR(HAND FULL)TO MY DRIP SYSTEM.
TIME FOR SAGE BURNING AND SUN DANCE.

Look for Mark Pistanos secret growth formula using search. His tactic would have the potash going down about 4 - 6 weeks ago. I would agree with his approach. K should probably coincide with soild fruit set or basketball size.

no luck with search.
co-op has 50lb bag or 0-0-40 for six dollars.
how do you apply?
my drip system is a main root/hill system.
can you pull k from dry grain into water drip?

You want the sprayable or soluble form of potash. It's fine texured like gritty flour. Muriate of potash sprayable is usually 0-0-62. Sprayable sulfate of potash is 0-0-50. Soluble forms are usually a little more costly than the larger prilled granules (sgn-210-240) which is what the price sounds like they have. Muriate of this size will eventually disolve in water. Hot water helps.
