Great points guys! I’m intentionally making the Process overly simplistic to make the point about hormones because they are not readily understood. People used to tell me they did not understand hormones in plants. Many people to this day believe they have better methods. Ironically my yields are good consistently. Don’t discount good genetics either. Soil scientist are into soil and orchardist are into orchards. Acres USA and similar publications bring the 2 concepts together. Unfortunately I never hear people associate the actual hormones with fruit production.
If you want to know more maybe read this link post #36 where I discuss this concept in great detail
