[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 630250, member: 4362"] If I can dig the fellas name up I'll send it to you. If his water wetter upper doesn't do the job I'm sure he has something that will. :lol2: Did a little reading on this particular fertilizer. As with brand chemicals you can tell a lot about the product by reading the label. Here is a list of the active ingredients. Potassium Nitrate(KNO3), Urea((NH2)2CO), Ammonium Phosphate((NH4)3PO4), Iron EDDHA, Iron EDTA, Manganese EDTA, Copper EDTA, Zinc EDTA, Boric Acid, Sodium Molybdate. F1367. I haven't a clue what some of these are but I do see where the N is coming from and if you notice iron is a component as well. Also, I don't know if this is true for fertilizers or not but in food labelling I think the order that it is listed is prioritized by the percentage of ingredient. The EDTA stands for chelate. Chelation is derived from the greek word claw. Essentially it binds something.
