Outdoor 1989.5 dmg Daletas ’17 (x sibling (indoor plant)) Starting to Vine (again)
After trying to encourage some more vine growth with fertilizer applications the vines past the pumpkin are now starting to grow to the point that I am back to vine burying. The challenge has been adding fertilizer, but not over adding to the point that the plant becomes brittle and bloated.
As far as fertilizer goes, I was adding a blend of different fertilizers being careful how much nitrogen and phosphorus was added. It is best to favor on the low side and do repeated applications to slowing bring up the total values. If you over add there are more negative results than positive ones. Weather and soil conditions are variable, and it can be hard to predict how things will react, so reduced but repeated applications with close inspections of the plants reactions are important to ensure maximum benefits with minimum risks.
