I would bet that the 7 is ammonia. Ammonia makes the soil cold. Not the best way to go in the spring....

I'm gonna try that with calcium acetate foliar to replace hypercap

It's from ammonia hydroxide
Jidoka,
Depending on how low the temps go, be very careful of ammonia toxicity in the cool nights. It is nasty. You won't like it.
Realize that ammonia is a signal to the plant to mature up, to flower.
Not that this is the right signal in the early stages of an annual.
Hey BLK,
Reading back through here and didn't seem to have answered your question. Try this guide.

I think a small dose of the 721 will help them show sex on time and really get going.
With some calcium to the leaf I think that it'll really be a good way to go.

slow,
thanks for the updates
I have spiked in gypsum + Humates( small amount) into soil for mango trees. Trees are looking greener now. To test I have put in different amounts of gypsum into trees.
Winter will set in a months time and flowers will start..does it make sense to add paclobutrazol now ? I am worried of ill effects if we are not covering with proper Ca in soil.

PBZ takes at least 100 days to have its affect. I would not worry too much about the ill affects as long as you have the gypsum down.
Do you suffer from partial flowering only? What happens when you get flowers? Do they flower and not set fruit? Or do you have a problem that during flowering you sprout vegetative?
Some trees do not set flower, this i think i have learned to control using Ammonium Sulphate ...flower to fruit setting is another issue. This time I am planning to do Ca foliar( milk powder) gently.
Will this help ?
Also new flush( leaves ) will start in some trees during flowering phase, in those flowering and fruit setting will be very low or worst .

You can apply ethrel to stop the new flush from coming without flowers..... 1 to 1.5 liters to the ha of Ethrel 480 will stop the vegetative flush 15 to 20 days. Might be the difference between veg and flower.
It is important to get your micros up, Zinc, Mn and Cu prior to flowering.
Do you have a soil analysis?

Trying to go past the accepted
Sounded familiar. Your boron is way low. Mn, Zn and Cu. Did you apply? Foliars prior to flowering would help a lot.
What all were you able to apply so far? Maybe email me this to not clutter this thread.

AMAZING THREAD!!
Have to read it over and over and over. Thank you Slow for starting this.
Just a question from a beginner organic-grower, how does the PPM/PH of water interact with soil CEC?
Can moderate levels of rainwater leach a plants CEC?
