And you said you use it on mature plants, do you think it would burn a pup as small as mine?

I buy mine at ACE hardware..the brand is red fox. it may run off quickly, but i fertilize weekly so not an issue.
As far as burning your plant, ive used it since mine were that size... i would not put it right on the pstem, and i would reduce the application to prob 2 TBSP per week. My plants were your size when i started them in the ground 4 months ago.. they are prob 13/14 feet now, with 7-9 ft of pstem. The new leaves are almost 6 ft long.. and it pushes a new one about every 6 days. Seeing as how you only have one plant, you can use a specialized water soluble fert such as Banana fuel from wellspring. Its expensive, but not bad for only one small plant.
I am switching over to urea and potassium sulphate as this bag of triple 13 is about gone. Gonna try the new regimen for a while and see how it goes.
Home depot typically has 10-10-10, and its used often also.
