Help Me Kick The Bottle

*Update for anyone out there running BioBizz, looking for some tweaks but not wanting to completely drop the brand.
I used to run the full biobizz line @ their suggested strength but I have since dropped a few bottles and tried to minimize my grow as it was getting too expensive and I was not blown away by the results. Below are the changes I implemented in my last run which so far tester nugs are showing improved results. In addition to elimating bottles I also lowered dosages from the biobizz suggested strength to be closer to the oldtimer 1 BB feeding suggestions so using less overall and less of what I do use.. I apologize if my math is off with the ml/L to ml/gal conversions, I use gallons to mix not liters.

I grow as organic as I can, in soil (FF Ocean Forest), I add some xtreme mykos and Azos when transplanting (be careful if you use Azos, it helps with nitrogen absorption (their claim) but can make it easier to burn your plants (my observation, had to lower n feedings)).

Seedling/Rooted Clone:
Root Juice @ nute suggested dose (eliminating and going to just use some fresh aloe)

Veg:
Power Si: .5ml/gal
FFCN: Cal-Mag (as needed, this depends on the plants, how long I am vegging, if I am re-using soil, how the plants react)
Fish Mix: 5-20ml/gal so (1.2ml/L - 5ml/L) (this depends on the plants, how long I am vegging, if I am re-using soil, how the plants react)
MegaCrop Sea-K: .5-4g per gallon (this depends on the plants, how long I am vegging, if I am re-using soil, how the plants react)

Flower:
Power Si Bloom: 1-2ml/gal
FFCN: Cal-Mag (as needed)
Epson Salt: (as needed, especially nice near the end of flower to add some sulfur, otherwise I use it for the magnesium aspect)
Bloom: 5-10ml/gal (1.2ml/L - 2.5ml/L) (rarely more unless I see a reason) (starting lower 5ml/L and raising later into flower) I usually do not feed bloom until after stretch when bud sites are obvious and look like electrocuted cotton balls (imo).
Grow: 5-10ml/gal (1.2ml/L - 2.5ml/L) Usually start higher and lower the amount, for example, during stretch (first 1-2 weeks of 12/12) I am feeding at 10ml/gal to let them grow out strong, then at week 3 or when I notice stretch slows I lower the amount to 5ml/gal

I sometimes will add some molasses near the final weeks of flower if I feel they need the extra micro nutrients it will provide to the soil/microbes. I use real growers recharge every 2-4 weeks if I remember feel it needs it, too lazy to mix up nutes
