If it has only been a couple of days, then the treatment has not had time to work. Doing too much will have the opposite effect, and can even kill your plant. Wait about 2 weeks between each treatment. Follow all packaging instructions carefully.

I'm afraid it will, simply, take some patience. Make sure that you test your soil so that you know how much nutrients is already there. Adding too much of anything will be quite detrimental to the plant's health.
