Need help with pomelo split

My pomelos are splitting now. What can I do to prevent it? I grow this tree from seed and I didn't harvest any fruit due to this issue for the last two years.
Thanks,
Al

Many times it is a watering problem. When the tree is parched and receives a lot of water, it absorbs the water so fast the fruit expands rapidly and the fruit splits. Try keeping the root zone evenly moist.

I recall reading somewhere that calcium deficiency is basically unheard of in citrus
