Did you till any kind of fertilizer into the soil before you planted?

I fertilized mine 2 weeks before I planted so I would say yes. You might consider some organic liquid fertilizer for quick boost with some slow releaser. This year I've been popping in some mycorrhizae tablet when I plant and the roots seem to be doing great.

I have not tired much but so far I've been using Seabird guano when I plant.
I like FoxFarm tomato fertilizer, steamed bone meal and seaweed extract.
I also added some worm juice and giant squid juice to improve my soil.
