Living soil needs compost teas, top dressing along the way, or even using recharge with watering. BAS is high quality soil so won’t have to worry ab not being balanced. Got any photos? Also definitely check out Jeremy’s build a soil YouTube page man tons of good videos going back a few years.

Also container size… I’d suggest 5 gallon smart pots. You CAN still overwater but you really have to work at it…
Investigate making teas, I’d suggest a simple Alfalfa/ Kelp tea to start.
I do one mid veg and a second mid flower.
The most important thing is… HAVE FUN!,
Cheers

The initial soil should be good for 4-6 weeks of veg, at least. Once you get to that point, be sure to watch the lower leaves for signs of yellowing, which can indicate low nutrients. I usually top dress a week before I start flowering and then weekly through the early flowering phase.

As informative as Jeremy is on Youtube, i cannot imagine the BuildASoil website wouldn’t have a chart for you to follow. I highly advise checking their website for a fee chart, or thumb thru his YouTube channel for hints on this topic.
It would be best for you to get this answer from Jeremy himself 
. As much as you’re spending on his products, you probably don’t want to get the answer from any of us, just sayin

Don’t use tea, it’s diluting your input.
Just top dress with compost or ewc or any other organic amendments you use and water.
Up your temps or lower your RH,
Remember, high temps high RH
Low temps low RH.
Seem to be nice and green from what I can tell. How long before you decide to flower? 5 gallon not super big for living soil but can make it work if you don’t let the plant get too large
