Get an EC meter asap.
make up a feed with 1.2 ec Ph 5.8 to 6.3.

So I do actually have one so just stay at a 1.2 feed for awhile?

yes, just keep it at 1.2 and water everyday twice a day is better.
make sure you have runnoff each time you water.

Ok, just make up your regular feed and check ec.
If its higher than 1.2 add straight water little by little mix and check ec each time until its down to 1.2.
If its lower just add extra nutes little by little mix and check ec each time until it rises to 1.2.

Take a look at the list of ingredients on the back, it's all organic stuff, which means that EC is on no use to you. It also means that the nutes aren't as readily available to you, as if you were using their synthetic line.
Also I wouldn't listen to any of the advice given by @bernie344 , who is a noob with terrible looking plants. He just seems to have a compulsive advice disorder.

So any tips on what I should do?

If it was me, I'd get a synthetic nutrient ASAP, and start feeding them that. Organics can take a while to see an improvement. You have to stay in front of organic feedings, and recovering from deficiencies organically can be tricky.

Hi noob, you can't check EC of organic feeds. Please stop blabbering.
