Wish I could help you out, but have never grown okra.
My only suggestion would be to fertilize with some low in nitrogen but high in potash and potassium (the 2nd and 3rd numbers on fertilizers). Anything (including organic!) with high P and K should help, like tomato or bloom booster fertilizers. Nitrogen promotes lots of foliage but few blooms.
