Bob, you are correct that if you have been using organic fertilizers all along then the plants are now receiving the nutrients that were put down weeks ago. Therefore, if the soil is going to be changed in October, there is no point in putting down more insoluble organic fertilizer now. You could however give the plant a fast-acting certified organic potash supplement in water-soluble mineral form, such as Potassium Citrate (liquid) or Sul-Po-Mag (soluble granular).
