Mike, more and more as the yrs go by I think the growers
should have optimized soil for their type and location. By this I mean
high in organics, ph adjusted, whatever else. The food and trace elements
should be at minimal levels so there is no chance of overfeeding. All the
fertilizers and elements should be added daily at 1/10 the label rate.
This stops the plant surges from weekly feeding. It also gives you control
when you get that copper color in the leaves from over feeding. It
lets you change your fertilization ratio at anytime. Some of the growers
are already doing this. Does anyone know how this yrs champ feeds
hers?
