Flowering nutrients question

Hello
I think I am an ok grower and have my flowering regiment that I have been using for over a year now.
But when I saw a talent here at this forum, I realized that this would be the only place to improve if there is a room to what I been using.
My regiment is below:
Hydrozyme
Pro silicate
Calmag
Monster bloom (first 6 weeks)
Bud XL (week 3 and 4)
Top booster (week 4 and 5)
Shooting Powder (week 6, 7 and 8)
I usually use this 4 feedings straight and just watering after that.
I was also told that I can benefit tremendously from regular molasses feeds as well.
Do you think it would be accurate?
Is there anything you guys think is missing from my regiment for bud site development and just a general mass development?
Thank you

As I noticed in the past, it is much difficult to get response to if I do not describe a problem but just seeking advice on general use. .
Thank you all for listening (or) reading anyway

Ok. That's good. My next grow will be done in a better soil then.
Thank you kindly

...you actually don't speak to your soil mix so i'm assuming the other fellow made that comment thinking your soil must be deficient if you need to add all those additives, ...a good organic soil would contain everything so only water would be needed.

...i personally grow in passive hydroponics, aka coco hempy buckets and i try for reliability and simplicity, with all those additives there is no easy way for you to know which are truly effective and which might be a waste of your money.

...i myself feed KISS style so all i use is Jack's Pro Hydro and Jack's Pro Cal/Nit for ALL my plants, from seedlings and rooted clones right up to harvest.

...this link is to a thread discussing the use of MaxiBloom as a single nutrient regimen that has much useful information and MANY useful links but it would require you to totally rethink your world so i offer it just to give you something interesting to read and so you can see just how easy things COULD be, lol.

Just my 2 cents, but some good soil, worm castings, and then some bloom boost early in flowering. You must spend plenty on all those chemicals. One screw up and you mess with the PH, and you really got to do a big flush to get smoke that's smooth. KISS method is the best way.
 
Although I'm a coco man myself but I agree with what Rastatrue says, especially with some of the soil grows that I've seen on forums.

When growing in the right soil, I believe that the plants will tell you that in most cases, less is more. peace.
