I already looked around the internet. Best I could find was 330 grams per plant,(Used in an experiment) but it didn't say 11 grams every two weeks for 60 weeks or whatever like that, you know... That is why I asked here. I hear people here talking about using it, one even said to add potassium until the ground bleeds, whatever that means, but nowhere have I found an actual application rate, such as 2 tablespoons around each mat once a week, for example. (In my research, it actually shows it should be applied more and more as the plant matures)
I don't want to overdo it because 1. I don't want to harm the plant, and 2. That crap ain't cheap.

I use potassium sulfate. I use about a table spoon in the hole when planting. I know you can desolve in water and poor around the plant. I got on Amazon or eBay in a 5 lb bag. Goes a long way. Haven't seen any adverse effects.
