Hello - Just thought I'd ask for some advice as to when to apply Potassium fertilizer? I'm about 13 days after pollination and things are looking pretty good. I don't want to lay it on too early.

Thanks for the help. Ceis

I'd wait until day 20, maybe 25 to start pumping the "K". Once the fruit reach basketball size, and are still putting on inches of circ/day, its safe to resume fertilizing.

I start about a week after the start of pollination and pollinate for about 20 - 25 days. Have set about 15 fruit with only two aborts.

Once per week then hit it hard in August about every 2-3 days once pollination is over.
