Re: CULT: FERTILIZER: water and what-not

It may have depended on what fertilizer was used.  If that person had told you to use a high phosphorus fertilzer then you might just have a mystery.

If a higher nitrogen fertilzer was used it may have forced foliage growth and/or abortion of stalk initiation as can happen with Spring bloom.
