I kinda need help with ferlitizing. Here in Australia we don't have any kind of advanced nutrients or 'special' blends. What are vital nutrients for massive fruit growth? And also are trace elements 'very' important? I'm thinking of using potash during fruit growth, magnesium sulfate through the season and the occasional seaweed fert.

Chicken poop works wonders for my plants but I have no idea what the soil is like in Australia ....if you can grow nice healthy tomato plants to begin with,then I would pay a little more attention to the pruning of the plant than the food..seems like the "giant varietys" will produce big ones anyway...mykos if you can get some...

Kelp and/or seaweed powder. Can you get a hold of either of those?

Liquid potassium with a K index amount of 25 or higher as well as brewing your own compost tea with fish emulsion, seaweed extract and of course compost.
