The last Coast of Maine Stonington Soil test I saw was pretty high in N. I'd be cautious about adding more unless you're seeing a deficiency or have another soil test to go off of. Much easier to add more than deal with an excess.

Can I ask for what went wrong with the current grow? Any photos?
I wish I knew! I have been so disgusted with it that I have not taken any pictures; however, six of the plants never reached 12” in height and the main stalk remained very small so, as they put on weight from flowers they just fell over, I did prop them up in hopes that something would start happening. I’ve never experienced anything like this and I am trying to figure it out so I don’t repeat this nightmare. Thanks for inquiring.
I've seen issues with the main stalk staying small like you are saying from to high of N in the seedling and early veg stage....If I remember right, I had a black stone in coast of maine do that to me. Main stalk was smaller than a pencil....I started referring to it as "bud on stick" lol
That is exactly how these have reacted! The developed some nice bud but not much of it. Stalk was smaller than a pencil. I’m writing it off to me not mixing the ingredients properly. I’m going to stick to amended soil on bottom half of the pot and plain Roots Organics on top, I’m trying Coast if Maine and Royal Gold Mendocino Blend in the bottom and the RO on top. Will feed as necessary going into flower. This botched grow included the last of my Ruby seeds, hope to locate some more of these so I can get a properly grown Ruby.
If you decide to try the Nutrient Pack again, please shoot me an email so I can help troubleshoot. We want everyone to have positive results with our soils and nutrient mixes.
One thing to consider that is different with organics is watering. With living soils, you'll want to keep the soil evenly moist vs the wet/dry cycles I see with hydro or chemical grows.
Hope that helps!
