Never used sohum living soil, maybe the plant could use more food in flower, but you have a very young plant, so adding food could stunt the growth at this stage.

That's one very healthy looking seedling, only give the plant water.

I agree with CHG. Just water.

Just scared to give to much nuts since it's a living soil

I hardly give more than 1/4 strength.

Young plant in a large pot of hot soil, the plant has enough food, adding extra food is likely to burn the roots and stunt the growth.

I would give the plant a week or 2 before trying to fix a problem that may fix itself.

Yeah fair enough

Just to add I checked on their website, and they don't recommend adding additional nutes.
I'd agree with CHG and wait a little while to see how it goes.

All good advice here. I agree. Hot soil. Let her find her legs. Don't let living soil get too dry but don't drown her and you will be fine.

I agree with everything previously posted. Only other thing I might look at is your light spacing. Seedlings in hot soil require more space from the light, but there is a balancing act, you don't want to raise it to the point it creates the plant to stretch. Without seeing it in person I am not sure if this even concerns your situation, but it is worth noting.
