My egg plants and cherry tomatoes are flowering but the flowers are then dropping off and no fruits forming. The capsicums are flowering but will have to wait and see what happens to them. The nitrate levels in the system are between 20-40 and have applied seasol as folage spray (3wks ago). Last week added seasol to water (couple of capfuls to 400L). Any advice?
Potassium
More seasol in the water.
Add 1 capful per day to bring your levels up.
Once the fruit starts to set properly, you can cease adding seasol until you notice that the fruit is failing again. You will get good at monitoring your plants, and you'll know when to add it.
I am down to about 1 cup per month for my 8000l system now.
Cut up a banana into several pieces. Place a piece in each grow bed, several cms below the surface so it can be broken down by bacteria/worms. High in potassium which will aid in ur flowers setting fruit.
MAKE SURE IT IS WITHOUT THE SKIN - full of pesticide = dead fish.
Do you have any bugs visiting the flowers? Maybe they aren't fertilized.
