  1. In my experience with Musas, applying a high-phosphate fertilizer would possibly give you a bloom 60-75 days later. If the plant is young, expect an emaciated bloom.
  2. (mono- or di-)Ammonium phosphate has a significant amount of nitrogen. Given you are already using 30-0-30 it is not your best choice. In that scenario, you're looking for 0-xx-0.
