Most commercial potting mixes are absolute garbage, even the expensive ones. They'll keep a plant alive for a month or so but then need fertilisation thereafter for normal plants while super fast growing plants like cannabis will chew through it like it's nothing. It's unfortunate but you essentially need to think of modern soil like you would a hydroponic medium because it's all gone to shit due to modern land care practices amounting to mining the soil for all it's worth and then hitting it with chemical ferts to make up for what they lack. Sure there may be some nutrients available and whatnot but when it's depleted you're going to have to feed them everything like you would in a hydro system to get the plants to grow to their full potential. It's likely what you experienced back in the day was good soil before the green revolution forced farming into the monster that it is today that kills all in it's wake and since a lot of soil is made from greenwaste that barely gets time to break down there's fuck all nutrients available from them too. It's probably why it feels so different for you today.
My advice would be to stop using those thrive nutes for foliar feeding and give it directly to the soil. Give it a full strength feed asap and then in around 4-5 days give the pot a decent drenching with tons of plain water and follow it up with another full strength feed. If I'm right about the soil being depleted the plants will take up everything they can to try and make up for what they both lack and need which could swing the ph way out of whack and leave locked out nutrients behind which will effect you with future watering/feeds. By flushing the soil out with a huge amount of water though you'll essentially reset it and the plants will be able to continue growing happily with a fresh batch of nutrients to work with. From there you should be able to get away with a weekly, maybe fortnightly feed and watering as needed. Chances are though for best results you're gonna have to flush it again in like 4-6 weeks just to make sure everything remains on point. I recommend checking the ph of the initial run off from the pot if you start seeing problems because seeing a decent swing will be your queue to hit that refresh button on them again.
For future grows I recommend fucking soil off and just going a 70/30 mix of coco to perlite, well that is unless you live in the ACT and are trying to do right by their silly laws that expect every mully to be grown in soil. The growth rates are better, yields are higher, plants are faster to show symptoms and faster to respond to treatment too. Everything about it is simply better and easier to control. Best of luck either way but and I hope you get a great harvest.
