You are going the right way, but at the same time dropping K is not a good idea.
You need the high K at the right moments. In veg at leaf maturation for flowering and later again at mid to end flowering... YOU MUST HAVE SPACE TO PUT ON THE K.
And obviously, you don't go overboard.
Realize that plants can't pick up K correctly if there is a Mn issue...
Sounds like a P problem.
Where do you think your P should be versus your K?

P is bad, the state says no no on my lawn.... if k wasn't so high in it, I'd recommend tomato tone to people as a cheap widely avail blend, it seems to be everywhere...actually.... add a bunch of kelp, gypsum and spray foliar...and your really on ur way , if one were to take an easy path...

Anyone have any book suggestions, besides More Food From Soil Science? Need some bedtime reading that isn't a lit screen so I can sleep better. All I know I learned from you guys, so it's all second-hand information, which can be awesome because you guys filter it through experience and knowledge, but also bad because I don't always get the context or the details.

This makes 5-6 CF - it works great for starts/seeds, some would think burn when looking at it but it doesn't if you mix it well, Kushlan makes a nice cement mixer (6 CF model) that works to mix small amounts up better than anything else I've ever tried
PEAT MOSS 2 CF Local POT MIX 1 CF PERLITE 5 G VERMICULITE 2 G SAND 1 G DE (Silica) 4-5 C EWC 4-5 C CRAB SHELL 4-5 C THORVIN KELP 4-5 C GYPSUM 4-5 C CALPHOS 2-3 C Supplimate 2 C GUANO 1 C LIME 1.5-2 C SULFATE OF POTASH 1/2 C MYKOS 2 Oz BORON 2 TBS MANGANESE 4TBS
If you on east coast 7springs farms is a good place to buy small and large amounts of minerals etc, I have no affiliation, ship quick, package well, ship as cheap as possible and good people to work with....
http://amazingcarbon.com/ I think that would suit for bedtime reading
shit, sorry non lit kindle is needed
This might be your problem.
Elemental P should be close to or equal to your elemental K in PPMs...

Peat has a super high CEC and loves to suck up both Ca & Mg and release H (adds to acidity), where did you have it stored? What brand was it / do you know it's origin?
