My giant pumpkins seem to be lacking potassium. I am only getting 6-10 pounds of growth on one of the three I have. It is 30 dap and is 150 ott. Does it need more water or do you think potassium sulphate would help. I am new grower and appreciate all the help I can get.

Fertilizer depends on what your soil needs. All the right elements in the correct proportions. Water also depends on the soil. Keep it evenly moist and don't over-saturate it. If the soil got too dry, don't try to correct it all at once. Spread watering over 2 or 3 days. You don't want a huge shock that will make the pumpkin split. I learned that th hard way many years ago.
