Nitrogen - Nitrogen is necessary for lush, green, leafy growth. An excess, however, will promote vegetative growth at the expense of fruit or flowers. Nitrogen is generally applied at higher concentrations in early growth stages.

Phosphorus: Phosphorus will promote big, bright blooms and enhanced fruit production. Phosphorus is essential in fruiting, flowering, strong root growth, and quality seed development.

Potassium: Potassium, or Potash, helps support strong sturgy plants and quality fruit. Potassium naturally increases a plants resistance to all types of stress and is vital for cell growth and carbohydrate metabolism.
