Help me improve my organic soil for photos

I will transplant the photos into this mix after about 10-14 days from sprout. Used this mix below before with success and got a starting PH of just below 7. Looking to add mostly pure water like last time except for mid-late in the flowering stage with some extra carbs and sugars and maybe compost tea eventually etc. 4 weeks veg and 7-8 weeks flowering in 5 gal pots.

Anything you might add or change?

per cuft or 7.5 gals:

50% Peat Moss ( low NPK)
30% Perlite
20% Worm Castings

Kelp Meal - 1/2 cup
Crab Meal - 1/2 cup
Neem Cake - 1/2 cup
Gypsum - 3/4 cup
Oyster Shell Flour - 3/4 cup
Basalt Rock Dust - 3/4 cup
Mycorrhiza

I'm still working on an organic mix using ProMix HP as my base. Adding 3 types of composted manures and some Gaia Green goodies. I'm not great at this type of growing indoors but a similar mix works great outside in the ground. Hemp farm started up down the road and will be there again next summer so no more outdoor pot for me. Opium poppies instead! Put $500 worth of stuff into that patch and not letting the wife fill it with garlic! :)

I'm not sure of the nutrient balance but it seems to me that the EWC is the bulk of the nutrients quickly available to the plant and won't last long once the plant gets some size to it.

You're for sure going to need some more nutes for flowering and should feed them well a week before flipping with a good balance of NPK as they feed heavy once put into flower until stretch is over. I'm thinking of making a tea using the Gaia Green stuff so it can soak in better. I add DynoMyco to the mix and water it once with unfiltered tap water that comes from a dugout on the property and has all sorts of beneficials in it. Also add carbs to feed the micro-herd.

Getting better at it. DWC is so much easier and more productive tho.

:peace:
