I've been told that I may be applying too much fertilizer, after 4 of my females aborted. I do have one fruit that seems to have set, it was tennis ball size 3 days ago and is now twice the size.Should I at least continue the foliar seaweed/ fish spraying once or twice per week? Also, when should I feed potash, if at all?

once a week on the kelp/fish. dont know what you potash level is in your soil so if you wan to guess id put a couple pounds of 0-0-50 down around the plant every two weeks starting mid august ( your pumpkin is to small at present -you might blow it up )

this is Espoma brand potash 0-0-60. I have not applied any yet but it is a granular type fertilizer.
