So are you pretty much saying that it is good to use organics when repotting?

This year I added a product from espoma called "garden-tone" to my soil. It is 4-6-6 and made up of a variety of organics like manure, crab meal, bone meal, kelp meal, dried blood, and many others.

I dont really have any trees that are already bonsai. They are all potensai and I just want them to get nice and fat this season. The reason I bring this up is with that in mind, I dont want to wait another couple of weeks before feeding them more. Would it hurt to hit them now with the fish emulsion if I just repotted the most recent one a week and a half ago?

On a side note, I plan to alternate between a 5-1-1 fish emulsion and a 20-20-20 Peters inorganic, both with superthrive added. I am thinking about doing this with every watering (using one or the other). Is this overkilll? I am growing a Old Gold Juniper and a Seiju Elm.
