Fertilizer suggestions for late plantings

bigbubbacain · May 12, 2020

I was forced to plant this year's tomatoes later than usual. I'm finally seeing more growth and blossom formation, but I need some suggestions about fertilizing. I added Dr. Earth's Pure Gold 2-2-2 at planting time, but I was thinking about supplementing the numbers during foliar feeding. I don't know if I should spray with a higher phosphorus for more blooms, or keep the N-P-K balanced. I’ve only got about a month left before the night temperatures get too high for fruit set and need to try and maximize growth and blooming as much as possible.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
