There is a misconception out there that bloom formulas are good for large fruiting vegetables. At no stage of their life cycle is this true. No large vegetables want, or can utilize, large amounts of P. Phosphorus requirements actually stay modest throughout the life cycle. The middle number (P) should ideally be less than the N and K. The boost that you want is in K and Mg, with a considerable amount of Ca as well.

Hope this helps....
