I've been following a guideline gimentioned to me by Richard.

I'm Fertilizing once a month. Last time I fertilized a couple weeks ago. I filled 5 gal bucket with water, 1/3 cup of Fruit/Banana Fuel. I split those 5 gallons between the two large plants. Gave the small one a gallon or so.

Maybe Richard could chime in about my dosing.

I can tell you from personal experience that over fertilizing can cause that, especially potassium.

Well I guess I could reduce the concentration. But once a month is the recommended frequency.
