It always depend on what is in your living soil. Did you bought it or made it? Do you water with chlorine free water? You need good living activity there to break down the amendments. 7 gal container for living soil might be small too. Working with soil is like waiting for your pay check: you don't get to see the results right away. It takes a week or 2 to start to see the effects. When you top dress you can try to make a tea with your dry amendments, EWC and rain water. It will speed up the breakdown process. If you get a deficiency in middle flowering it is not a crime to use Organic Cannabis-friendly nutrients in the way that it won't hurt your soil. Those are fermented plants matters in a form ready to absorb by plants and do not needs to be braked down like dry amendments. I prefer to use nutrients than having a major deficiency in most important of flower. Next time just review your soil recipe. You can also learn to make your own fertiliser out of brown sugar by looking into Korean Natural Farming.

Like 8chevron is saying, but knowing about organic gardening, I would go with he's 3rd possibility witch is micro nutriment issue. But in soil an EC of 2 would be way to hot. Living soil regenerates nutrients by microbial activity. an EC of 0.8 to 1 would be ideal. Again only you know what is your soil made of and what top dressing you add. To make a quick fix you can get the Remo Micro or Advanced Micro.

Looking more closely through your journal, I'm wondering what nutrients they are actually getting! All I see are bennies and yucca 👀 My two cents: Stay away from organic. If you're doing it for commercial appeal, I get it, but organic itself is just a marketing scam. Feel free to disagree, I only mean to help.

I would find out if it's a deficiency or lockout. Your EC in and out should be between 1.6 and 2.2 (although 2.2 is quite high!). Your pH should be roughly the same going in and out, maybe a .2 variation is okay. These are likely causing most of your problems. That said, it looks like a P and K toxicity. That is to say that you are giving them too much bloom nutes. If you're using a booster, dial it way back or stop using it altogether. N deficiency is also possible if you cut it out completely when switching to flower. Even in flower, they need a little N but it's very easy to overdo. They don't take much! The last possibility is that you're failing on several micronutrients like sulfur, manganese, zinc, etc. You should be able to figure out with of these issues is most likely by examining your nutrients to find out exactly what they are getting and what they are lacking. My first guess is still a booster mishap.
