I’ve got some new tomato and squash plants. The gardener I got them from said they have a hydrogen (if I remember correctly) deficiency. How do I help them??? They also said to pop off the flower.

Most likely Nitrogen. It looks like they’ve flowered too soon. So hold back the flowering by plucking them off. I’d use a balanced fertilizer. I like this one. Transitioning them outdoors would help too

0개 좋아요I’m not a fan of miracle grow anything. If you have compost that’ll work. When they go in the ground I’d add some compost too
