also for the record so i know what i did this year next year. 1 tablespoon per gallon on 9-18-9 up to day 30 foliar and drench once per week 3 days apart. 1 tablespoon per gallon 3-18-18 day 30 on foliar and drench 3 days apart. 1 teaspoon per gallon 0-0-25 started day 36 and day 38 pumpkin in a mixed drench with 3-18-18 at one tablespoon per gallon. 1 tsp per gallon 0-0-25 foliar with 1 tablespoon per gallon 3-18-18 foliar will be on day 41 and 39 day old pumpkin until day 60. and then full strenghth 1 tablespoon 0-0-25 per gallon 1 tablespoon 3-18-18 per gallon mix to finish both in drench and foliar once per week about 3 days apart form each other. calcium (drench only) 1 tablespoon per gallon added to every drench fertilizer mix cocktail along with 1 tablespoon per gallon of grandma enggy's humic acid and 2 tablespoons per gallon of neptunes seasweed and fish. never more than 4 gallons of mix per plant in drenches done only surrounding the stumps and along mains in about an 8' radius with my 6' long 2" wide clear plastic tube and 2 gallon water cans with the tops unscrewed off to pour down the tubes. co2 is being done once every 2 weeks on its own and was started after all leaves where mature or at least over 10 inches wide. all foliar applications except co2 have grandma enngys foliar fulvic acid added at 1 tablespoon per gallon. quadris at 2 tsps per gallon mixed with demand cs at 2/3 teaspoon per gallon is mixed with fertilizers and fulvic acid at application once per week at dusk. seaweed will be thrown in the mix now too to help keep the old leaves feeling young and to help fight pm. then i rotate quilt fungicide the following week at 3 tsp per gallon with the same above ratios as the quadris. leaves are still looking great and still have all of them except those that were blown down in storms or my fatass knocked over and had to remove.
