Anyone ever use this and if s, when would be the best time you would use it and how much did you use per gallon of water if you never run it threw your misters or water system?.

I'm not sure what this means and was hoping to get a easy explanation that my dumb hillbilly a$$ could understand.LOL
Here it is,
"All GROW MORE fertilizers contain a special multi-mix of chelated micronutrients, manufactured from NA4 EDTA""

Heres the Link http://www.pumpkinsupply.com/ProductInfo~Pumpkin~GROW_MORE_5-10-40.html

Ben, Tremor? anyone?,LOL


Thanks Guys,

Found this,
High Phosphate/Potassium formulas:

Special high analysis soluble Phosphate readily translocates to enhance Bud set/Fruiting; also an excellent young plant starter and root builder.

High quality chloride free Potassium (the key to quality yields with improved storageability, helps reduce stress, builds drought and disease resistance, use as a finisher for fruits and vegetables.

But cant find whats recommended to use per gallon of water, and also dont know what "NA4 EDTA" means.

Thanks again,

This would make a nice finishing fertilizer especially on low-medium Phosphorus soils.

EDTA is a chelating agent used to make metallic micronutrients available especially as a foliar feed. "NA4" is probably a trade name.


After fruit set, this could be used as a foliar or soil feed. Rates would be determined by the soil test results & current growth rates & goals. I'd say that 1 Tablespoon per gallon gets most growers in the ball park. If the growth response isn't evident in a week, then on low K soils, I'd increase the frequency & not the rate.

Another approach is to calculate the annual K needs minus available soil K then divide by the number of applications that remain in the post fruit-set period minus the last 2 weeks. High K soils might show no response & hence adding more isn't necessary.

Thanks Tremor, you made that simple to understand as always.
