1. Keep in mind that once the fruit sets any chemicals you feek the plant will transfer to the produce. As a farmer unfamiliar with your specifc plant I'd say ever other watering, and let it dry out a bit in between. I'd follow package directions and under do it a bit. It it says 1 part fertilzer ot 3 parts water, I'd make it 1 to 4 or 5, and do it more often but I'd also give the plant a chance to just be a plant.
2. again... sour orange fruit will not be sweet no matter what fertilizer you give them or what you do.....
