Thanks in advance. I am using fish oil appr. 1 TBS per gallon every 5-6 days, and liquid kelp about 1 time a week. Does that sound about right? Am hearing so many different dosages. Also, any other fertilizer ideas? My vines look good, but are not growing as quickly as I would like. Also, fungticide ideas for now and later?

It really depends on your soil test results...and what your plant needs..How big is your plant..What stage are you at...

Nukid,

Most dilutions are 1 ounce per gallon. So you can go 2 TBS/ or 1 ounce per gal of fish and seaweed.

Check with Hollands land O Giants, I like Companion for a drench. I also like to use a multi nutrient once per week too....like Algo flash....

ANd dont forget your Richlawn....chicken poop. Soon here we will decrease the nitrogen and get ready to start setting your lil pumpkin. How long is your main vine.

Thanks, you two. My main vine on all 3 plants is only about 4 feet....I think that is small, but the leaves look great (despite the hail damage) and they are starting to take off. Also, on my 400 Grande, I have a tiny female in the works...only about 4 feet from main plant. What to do with it? Thanks again.

Oh...also, do you use fish oil once a week, then the algo flash the next week, kelp next week, etc.? Or can they each be used every so many days? Same with fungicide....

4 foot is too close in on the main for a kin, its still early....let that main grow longer....are you burying the vine?

Thanks for the "it is still early"!!!!! I think I may have been at this point last year and did ok. But should I pinch that guy off? And I am trying to bury the vines. Only 2nd year, so everything is new and am trying to get it right!!!!! So much to learn. Thanks for the support!!
