myself all season ive been useing seaweed extract and neptunes, both fruits are growing well and strong at day 13 from pollination, come day 20 i'll slowly start to introduce 15-15-30 at a light twice a week application to help them along.

I'm using water soluble 5-12-26, I can push it thru both the drip line and/or the sprinklers.
Like Eric Gerry said about his 5-10-40, it'll keep roots happy, no exaggerated vine growth, and no fert-only induced blowouts.

Oh yea, fish and kelp too of course, with a bit of compost tea.

It´s a good idea not to forget about N like the stuff Dave is using. Had 17-17-17 (called "blue grain" over here) all along the season this year and the plants are doing much better than the years the before, still no disease or PM. Think about the fruit, but don´t forget about the plant -)

I got my 5th split today in 2.5 weeks. I think I'm just gonna shut-up from here on out, starting to sound like some of the so-called "experts" here that ain't ever really grown anything (Kilr knows who I'm talking about and it isn't anyone chiming in on this particular thread)
Ignore anything I have to say from now on.....5 splits, geeeez.
