Age Old Grow (12-6-6)
Every grower seems to have their own “go to” fertilizer and this is one that I have used in the past and have seen some of the results and collected some data on. The “Grow” formulation is beneficial early in the season, but I will also use it on full sized plants. It dilutes well and runs though my injector and drip tapes very easily with no filter clogging.
In addition to this, I have tissue tests to prove that despite what the label says, it is high in manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe). Keep in-mind the label stated values are guaranteed minimums, so the manufacturer is technically are not lying. Personally, I think giant pumpkins consume greater amounts of manganese (Mn) than is currently thought, so this is one of the reasons why I like to use this fertilizer. It does also provide other macronutrients, and favors a higher ratio of nitrogen compared to P or K, which is beneficial early in the season.
