Hi Ryan,
That question can get a hundred different answers. But to keep it simple follow this basic plan.
From the time the seed germinates until you have about 8-10 leaves fertilize with a high Phospherous fertilizer
( ex. 10-50-10)
At this point switch to a balanced fertilizer ( 20-20-20)
Once you have a fruit growing good you can switch ( if you want) to a high pottasium fertilizer.
Now remember this is just a basic plan, there are many other thoughts as how to fertilizer these monsters....Paul
