Feeding the SIP through out flowering cycle

Hey folks,

My last grow was in a 12 gal SIP, coot’s mix, lots of homemade worm castings and Dr Earth’s flowering nutrients. My last grow ran out of nutrients towards the later part of its life cycle. I did do light top dressings like 1/4 cup, when it called for a tbsp per gallon. The SIP was completely filled with roots. I thought 12 gallons would be enough, granted I transplanted 2-3 weeks before flipping. Right now I’m have crimson clover, buckwheat and a pea plant growing in the sip.

Should I top dress with the main coot’s nutrients aside from Rock dust, and Oyster shell?

How often should I top dress throughout it’s lifecycle?

Fish Bone Meal (high phosphate) says it takes 40-55 days to break down, is that in simple soils? I’m guessing a highly bio-active soil with worms in it, should decompose and be released fairly quickly.

what do y’all think?

I reammend after each run with Dr Earth Homegrown at full strength, and water that in with Neptune's Harvest.

4-6 tbls dry and 3-4 cups EWC each week. Top water over it every couple days.

4-6 tbsn of the coot’s dry Amendments (Neem,Crab meal, and kelp meal)? Even in flowering?

I use a mix of bloom/veg dry Gaia for all my topdress.

Shit, in my earthbox, I been giving a cup of dte rose and flower, 1 cup ewc,1 cup build a flower, and water it in with 500 ml build a bloom, on this run. She didn't fade as bad, but she looks like she wanted too. I have plenty of worms, soil mites and I add a compost tea every week in flower. In the sip, I feel the dry amendments break down much faster.
