Troubles with Organic Fertilizers

Hi Everybody,

 I have used Alaska Fish Fertilizer (5-1-1) for the past two seasons.  The
package directions say to use three tablespoons per gallon of water.  I
generally use half that much for seedlings.  However, the fish fertilizer
doesn't seem to keep the seedlings' leaves green.  I fear that the leaves will
yellow after a while as in past years. 

Usually, I have given up and used Peters 20-20-20 at 1/4 strength and this
seems to solve the problem. But I really hate to rely on inorganic
fertilizers.  Can someone please share their methods for keeping seedlings
robustly green using only 
organic fertilizers?

Thank you kindly in advance.
