Since both are failing to bloom well, it could be a nutrient or pH imbalance. Mainly, you will want to test for your nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus levels in your soil. During active growth, your feeding should be a little higher in nitrogen. During the bloom period, phosphorus and potassium will be higher. The first thing to do will be to test your soil for any deficiencies and pH swings. This article will explain in more detail:
