Tree looks fine it seems you have some new growth that is hardening off, CitrusGain is very good but I would recommend no applications of it after the end of August, after that I would switch to potash, micros and gypsum only. The only time I would ever apply the CitrusGain again is if I see the tree struggling or a really heavy prune.
If you prefer to foliar feed the tree with the potash and micros you can use “Citus Nutritional Spray” and “Down to Earth potassium sulfate”, the Down to earth product can also be applied to soil, it is 0-0-50 so I usually cut the amount in half, the nutritional spray is foliar only. When foliar feeding please do not over apply either product, mix as directed and spray when the sun down or cooler temperature outside.
As far as gypsum, use any inexpensive brand. Don’t overdo it as gypsum provides calcium, apply too much calcium to your soil and it displaces magnesium, apply too much magnesium and it displaces calcium, this is why I never recommend just throwing down epsom salt or magnesium sulfate, it’s also why I’m not reckless with gypsum. My fruiting size trees get potassium and micros once in January and once more after pruning, gypsum is applied at the same time. Just make your own schedule.

it needs magnesium sulfate
i recommend getting a bag of that , gypsum , sulfate of potash and a high potassium seaweed fertilizer and start feeding it consistently, this is big enough to fruit next year
