Nutrient strategies for fruiting crops Complete nutrient solution at 200ppm-N is a good starting place Adjust N:K ratio for vegetative and reproductive growth - N:K ratio near 1:1 during vegetative growth - N:K ratio of 1:1.5 or 1:2 during fruit development Supply high calcium (>150ppm) and magnesium (>50ppm), typically increase during fruiting
