Ashton, you need to talk to Tom P at Extreme Pumpkin Store, you will learn his products work. Many are organic certified.

For Nitrogen I like to use Alaska Fish Fertilizer 5-1-1. Its Organic, There is not much risk of burning the plants and its available everywhere at least around here.

You do need to make sure you have a good fertilizer plan to follow though. The Plants need diferent things at diferent times of the year so It would be good for you to talk to Tom or Joel Holland They both have pretty detailed fertilizer programs. You don't necessarily have to follow them exactly to get good results but they can get you started in the right direction.

ahhhh Ashton...elements are sort of chemicals no matter which way you look at it. Just because it is organic does not mean it is not a chemical. They have to be in a form available to the plant. Normally in a soluble form ending in "ate". Nitrate, Phosphate...and with Potassium it normally is combined with something to make Potassium available...Such as a Sulfate or Chloride, or Potassium Nitrate.
