Pre-nutrient loaded soil

So I am using 1:1 ratio of Fox Farms ocean and vermifire nutrient laden soil. I was told not to use nutrients till after at least 1 month. After a month I added slightly diluted nutrients from General Organics. It shocked 2 girls and I pulled one. The other is ok now. So almost 3 months later I want to know if there is anything I can do or add (organically) to help with their flowering or should I just keep with the plain watering I am doing now? All are flowering nicely, but not huge flowers.. Only one is flowering very slow and that is the only girl I did from seed.

Most growers avoid
Pre-nutrient loaded soil because of this fact its hard to say where you are with time released soils sorry its a bit after the fact To find out this but I`d let it be unless it shows signs of needing more This video before this grow would have been better but what can you do I suggest watching it covers a lot of newbie trip ups

I tried doing my own nutes and found I was maybe a lil too novice so I went with pre-loaded.. What I did the other day was just added a bunch more soil to the top, hoping it's enough to leach down to roots when watered.. I just want my first time to give a decent amount of buds...

Vermifire has a good amount of mycorrhizae, so a good organic bloom boost you could use would be Blackstrap Molasses. Has B vitamins that will help with shock, and has lots of potassium and trace minerals, and a bit of sugar for the myco in the soil. I would suggest about a tablespoon per gallon of water. FWIW I love Vermifire, and much prefer it to Ocean Forest and Happy Frog, Vermifire just has better texture and drainage, and the plants seems to absolutely love it.
