Amending Happy Frog soil for flowering

I just finished up my first grow in soil. At first I loved it because my plants needed nothing but water up until flowering. They were healthy and green straight up to the flip. As they started to look hungry I fed them (perhaps too) minimally with the Roots organics line. I was kind of playing it by ear and didn't get the results I was hoping for: potency is good but yield borders on pathetic. I can't help but think if they were healthy and well fed throughout flowering they'd be happier and more productive.

Basically I'm looking for the same ease through the flower cycle I had while they were vegging. I'd rather not have to mix up nutes if I don't have to. I think too much human error is entering the equation there.

I bought some bone meal, blood meal, dolomite lime, earthworm castings and perlite. Will this be enough with the Happy Frog soil to make it through flower? Any additions I should pick up before the final mix up? A store nearby has some crab shell which I've heard is nice soil addition, any thoughts on that? Suggested ratios?
:thank you:

I guess I'll have to use the blood and bone meal in my next grow. Start mixing the soil now so the nutrients are broken down and readily available.

Since I have to transplant today I'll just be amending with EWC and Dolomite lime, and feed with the Root organic line at half their recommended dosage. I can deal with that for another two months.
