Hi all, quick question if anyone can help me out. Basically I have tomato plants with calcium deficiency and would like guidance as to how much and how often to feed.
Details: two plants in each 50 gallon container, soil is a mix of compost, manure, clay, topsoil, and promix, and has about a half pound of slow release ferts with calcium and a couple cups of epsom salts added in.
Once the fruit started getting ripe they started showing deficiencies so I started feeding with a PK booster and cal-mag. I am giving them 5 mL of cal-mag once a week right now and 2.5mL of pk booster. They are getting watered three-times-a-week-ish. Should I keep feeding them this once a week, should I feed them less, or should I feed them more?
I've never grown tomatoes in containers before and I really thought what they started with should be enough to get them through the season.
PS: also could use a recommendations for a semi-determinate type of tomato that will do well indoors in the winter.
