When To Stop Fertilizing Tomatoes?

TC_Manhattan · September 1, 2015

After a roller coaster season of weather here in NE Ohio, my first real wave of ripe tomatoes is happening now. Lots of cracks and am learning it has a lot to do with irregular watering (thanks to the Big Weather God) and first hot, then cool, then hot again.. However, some mention that fertilizing can do this, too.

I have a honking crop of huge ones, but very few intact.

My fertilizing schedule has been alternating weekly half-strength applications of TTF, then Neptune's Harvest fish/seaweed, w/ every 5th week a 1/2 strength app. of MG Tomato 18-18-21.

When should I stop?
