I also supplement every 2 weeks with 1tsp. calcinit and 1/4 tsp. epsom salts mixed per gallon of water.

Well I think I did exactly what you warned me not to. pH is over 7 approached 8 and I have dropped a bunch of blossoms. The plants seem healthy and growing otherwise, but I'm not getting a lot of fruit formed lately.
