Inorganic 6-24-24
I don't care if it's organic or not - I just want it to work.

Look up the Haifa tomato guide, they list the correct amount of each element needed, they have charts for each stage of the plants life too. People way overuse P, and under use K, they use the wrong N, not enough Ca, or MgSO4. Take a look. How do we know their numbers are correct? We send in leaf samples to labs, they dry them and weigh each element, it is a precise science now.
There are organic fertilizers that you can use too, that you can mimic these numbers. I will add though, organic , or not, everything breaks down to elements before the plant can use it.
I use HG 4-18-38, but this is the same order, I pulled this up for you guys to look at.
