I am now switching over to Potassium and am using Neptunes seaweed 0-0-1 as it was reccomended. I keep reading of everyone else using 0-0-25 or even 0-0-50. Are these ferts 25x or even 50x stronger than what I am using and does a 0-0-1 even do much for maturing the fruit? Thanks in advance!

I'm using 0-0-60 in small moderations with not one problem.
My soil from all the early on rain is missing alot of the nutrients that were added in this spring. I'm not a pro by any means but if I were you I would stay away from the real strong stuff like 0-0-50 and 0-0-60 unless you have tested your soil and you need that much.

dont forget the calcium and magnesium additions. to much potassium will block out other nutrient uptake and could actually slow you down. use all three moderately.

Thanks Bill and Paps, I know there is a ton more to it and I will be much more prepared on year 2 with a soil test etc to see where I stand.
