At 40 days, they should have enough stored nitrogen. I would switch to a 0-10-0 or similar. Then, at about 10 days before harvest, nothing but water w/molasses 'til chop.

thanks pappy! i wasnt sure so i thought i would ask.is there a difference in using a higher P then lower P as long as the nitrogen is at zero?? example: 0-50-0 versus 0-10-0 something like that ??

Pappy

You would use less of the 0-50-0 than the 0-10-0. I use a couple teaspoonfuls per plant, per week. You could also put a handful into a gallon or two of water, with an airstone. Then, use that for a watering. There sure are lots of ways of doing the same thing, aren't there?
