Wrong Feed For Sweet Peas

Question

Can I rescue sweet peas that had too much nitrogen? healthy leaves and tall but no flowers If I add phosphate now will they flower?

Answer 1

Phosphorus and potassium can help offset the nitrogen, but I would flush the soil first. This can be made easier using soil flushing agents that contain citric acid.
