Product Overview
Description
Wicked Growth Tomato Fertilizer delivers precision nutrition specifically formulated for the demanding requirements of tomato production. The 10-5-13 ratio with added sulfur (13%), calcium (3%), and magnesium (3%) addresses the complete nutritional profile tomatoes need for heavy yields, exceptional flavor, and freedom from blossom end rot.
Tomatoes are nutrient-demanding crops with specific requirements. They need adequate nitrogen for vigorous vine growth, moderate phosphorus for flowering and fruiting, and high potassium for fruit quality, flavor, and disease resistance.
Essential for all tomato types from compact determinates to sprawling indeterminates, from tiny cherry tomatoes to massive beefsteaks. The complete solution for gardeners who demand the best from their tomato plants.
Highlights
• Complete tomato nutrition
• Added S, Ca, Mg micronutrients
• Blossom end rot prevention
• Flavor enhancement formula
• All tomato varieties
The Science Behind It
How It Works
This tomato-specific formula provides elevated nitrogen and potassium with moderate phosphorus, addressing tomatoes' particular nutritional demands. High nitrogen (10%) supports the extensive foliage tomatoes need for fruit production. Elevated potassium (13%) directly improves fruit quality, flavor, and disease resistance. Secondary nutrients (sulfur, calcium, magnesium) address common tomato deficiencies. Applied regularly through the season, this formula supports continuous production in indeterminate varieties.
The Science
Tomatoes are heavy feeders with high potassium requirements. Potassium activates enzymes involved in sugar synthesis and transport, directly affecting tomato flavor and brix (sugar content). It also influences lycopene production, affecting red color development. The included calcium helps prevent blossom end rot, a common disorder caused by calcium deficiency in developing fruit. Sulfur and magnesium support chlorophyll production and overall plant health.
Nutrients Available
10% Total Nitrogen – Drives vigorous vine growth and leaf production. 5% Available Phosphate (P₂O₅) – Supports root health and fruit set. 13% Soluble Potash (K₂O) – Maximizes fruit flavor, color, and quality. 13% Sulfur, 3% Calcium, 3% Magnesium – Prevent common tomato deficiencies including blossom end rot.
How to Apply
1-2 lbs/100 sq ft every 4-6 weeks. Severe deficiency: 2-3 lbs initially.
1
Action:
Survey garden bed and note deficiency symptoms. Map high-need zones.
Pro Tip:
Sandy areas and fruiting sections need more K than shaded areas.
Avoid:
Don't leave granules on surface in hot weather - damages plants.
2
Action:
Calculate 1-2 lbs per 100 sq ft. For 10x20 garden (200 sq ft), use 2-4 lbs.
Pro Tip:
Weigh fertilizer on kitchen scale. One cup 0-0-60 weighs ~0.5 lb.
Avoid:
Don't exceed 2 lbs per 100 sq ft per application. Split heavy doses.
3
Action
Broadcast granules evenly across soil surface. Work into top 2-3 inches with cultivator.
Pro Tip:
Sandy areas and fruiting sections need more K than shaded areas.
Avoid:
Don't spread on windy days - granules drift causing uneven application.
4
Action
Water thoroughly with 1-2 inches to dissolve granules and move K into root zone.
Pro Tip:
Incorporation prevents salt buildup and gets K to roots faster.
Avoid:
Don't leave granules on surface in hot weather - damages plants.
