The product that Stelts and others is using goes by the brand name Foli-Cal. Not sure of the exact ingredient content.

Quinn,

I know Tim Parks has some, for he has some put aside for me. He can probably tell you if your calcium chelate will work as well, and what's in Foli-Cal. His phone (330)-533-7278.

The above link is correct but I couldn't get in using it. shortened it and stopped at clawel and it went in. then looked up specialty fertilizers and went to the mannitol site..it lists foli-cal as 10% calcium made from calcium acetate
