You'll get pods even if you didn't do any more fertilizing of your plants. Be careful about over fertilizing, as you can do more damage then good. You could also not get any pods if you over do it.

I would not recommend you use any blood meal, your current setup already provides enough nitrogen, and the blood meal would probably put it over the top. The bone meal is for extra calcium, it is slow to break down and you will probably have the calcium already covered with the fish emulsion (look at the % of calcium). The epsom salt provides magnesium (your fertilizer may already have this covered too), it is not necessary to mist the plants you can add it to the water and just water the plants with it.

Thanks for the tips! My fish fertilizer is rated 5-1-1. Is this sufficent for container growing? Any additives or just leave them alone?? So many questions! Sorry im a newbie!

It really depends on what your goals are. If you are not worried about creating the perfect growing conditions for them then you don't need anything else. Truthfully with your fish fertilizer it should be more then enough, the only thing you might think about doing is also picking up a seaweed fertilizer to add extra micronutrients to the soil. That is it. Regardless, with what you have your plants will do just fine. Don't sweat it too much, they are pretty easy to grow.

you can make your own seaweed fert super cheap. Southwest Botanical sells dry seaweed. Burpee says one ounce of seaweed per 30 gallons. or 30 grams per 30 gallons or 1 gram per gallon of water.

My advice is go easy on fertilizer. I never fertilize. I use good organic soil which breaks down slowly and provides everything that the plants need.

If you ever see the words Miracle Grow cast out the devil and run away as fast as you can. Avoid all chemical fertilizers. those are the ones that look like dry colored sugar or salt. They are SALT.
