Well Here are my most rescent soil test results they were taken in June 05.
My plants are growing awsome, long main vines, not many secondarys, only VERY few females but all have aborted and was wondering why?

Last fertilizer I applied was 10-52-10 about 3 weeks ago and since then nothing but water.

Dave I think all the hot dry weather we have had is likely part of the reason. I also have had a few aborts especially females pollinated June 28 to July 3rd. With this cooler weather and moisture, I have renewed growth, more females coming and a second kick at the cat. Your soil test dosn't indicate any big problems. Addition of some aged manure or compost would be a good idea. What is the K level? you posted everything but the K (potash). Some 20-20-20 water soluable would be a good idea right now.
