I switch to a higher N fertilizer when the main gets a couple feet long. 30-10-10 just because that is what I had laying around. I'll stop that in another week to prepare for fruit set.

Hello Owen, nice to hear about your efforts! I found another german supplier for what is called mineral nutriment, just go here:
http://www.goetzpflanzenzubehoer.de/cgi-bin//catalog.cgi
Different offers like 20-20-20 or 8-16-24 for later in the season, not expensive (3.5 Euro per kg).

Guten Tag Floh, thanks for the web site, they do have quite a selection, guess I'll know more on what combination to order once I finish reading the Langevins book! right now i'm strictly using that which says specifically for root growth, etc. Tschuus.....owen

"come on svbrich it´s not that bad" must be the translation, Owen please correct me if not.
There´s something about that language that you can extend words to a point where it hurts eyes ´n ears, like Oberdampfmaschineninstandhaltungsingenieur which simply means a guy who is an engineer and responsible for maintaining a steam engine...) well I like english because you can explain things within two words sometimes...
