My non-soil is 2/3 medium quality + 1/3 Ocean Forest with polymers, coco-peat, and perlite added(foxfarm). I switched to all ocean forest--as dirt--later (those 6 are under a foot so I don't know how much that will help, yet). Should I try so thrivealive or is that just overlap? I'm new to soil--changing those DWCs every 2 weeks was making discretion difficult.
That's a lot of dolomitic lime, if that is what it was.
I would think adding all of the things you have added you have most likely created a toxicity which has locked something out.
Unless you have added all of those things over the long term?

From what I can tell your best bet is check your Ph and feed them just water for a little while and see what they do.
