If nitrogen and potassium are in the very high range, do you just wait it out. Will and how long will it take to come down? If every thing is in the high range , but a few out of balance do you try to balance it or leave it alone.

I think you are stuck until it leaches out. The N will/ should leach pretty quick with heavy rains. I dont know hiw fast the potassium will leach.

Lee I'm new to the tissue tests. The recommend levels are for normal plants. Should the giants still have the same percentages?

Im not sure what you mean by " normal plants " ??
I had a tissue test done 2 weeks ago. If it will help you, take a look at it, in my diary.
If you have some things that are low, below the recommended amount, the lab should have put something in the " recommendation block.

I believe Western labs highlights in red for the ones that are too high, and blue for the ones that are too low. Check out Ron Wallaces test also. Hope this helps you.

I just ment say regular garden melons verses giant competition melons. I will take a look. There were no recommendations other than leave everything alone. Thanks

I compared mine to yours and Ron's. All my percentages are in the range given for ideal on you reports except K. They said my K was excessive at 4%. I notice the range given for Giant pumpkins is 7-12%. So 4% may not be too high for giant melons.
