If you would like to see a great video that not only explains how and when to use fertilizers, but why, watch this video:
The Giant Pumpkin Fertilizer Program
Please note that the quantities of different fertilizers being applied here are very small. You want to spoon feed the plant to push it along and don't want to pour on the fertilizers which can sometimes do more harm than good. Fertilizers should be applied in the early morning or the evening. Most of these fertilizers, bio-stimulants and nutrients are available at a discount at http://seeds.giantpumpkinman.com/fertilizers.May planting outdoors in hoop houses: |
