HI John. The Tomatoe miricle grow doesn't push potasium. 21 in only
1% more than the 20-20-20 most use after polination. I would suggest using
a much higher potasium fertilizer. I am using K-power which is 14-0-47. I
used it in the begginging of the fruit set and it worked great. Then I got
advice it would riped the friut early so I moved to 20-20-20 and in a week
or 2 I am going back to K-power. Trust me, it works, it is theorized that
it helps the plant to store sugar in the pumpkin and that theory is used by
many farmers.
