Awesome pile of goodies there! The only thing I would say is really missing would be coco coir and gypsum. Personally in all my gardening(and I do a lot of non-cannabis gardening as well) I have stopped using blood and bone meal completely. I have them around still just in case. The blood meal especially can provide quick nitrogen. I also keep aged urine around for emergency supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, and everything else for that matter(urine is a well-rounded fertilizer), but that also goes unused for the most part. Ever since I started making my own compost I just haven't had a situation where any of those things are needed. My compost is so rich sometimes I have to even dial it back a bit. So if there is any way you can start your own compost or vermicompost(worms), I strongly recommend you do so. The benefits are fresh microbial populations, great control over what goes into your dirt, and instead of buying expensive fertilizers your appropriate food wastes, untreated lawn clippings, and many more free things can be turned into a much more useful product than anything you buy. There are some guys on here who are much better cannabis growers than I am that don't use any store bought nutrients at all. I don't use any on my tomatoes and I've had professional gardeners and farmers absolutely stunned at how big they grow. Last year a tomato plant spawned out of a vent hole in my composter which I let grow for the hell of it and I had it trained up the side of my house about 8 feet, and it covered about 150 square feet. That is ONE PLANT, and growing in nothing but compost. I'm not saying all the fancy nutes are bad, I'm just saying don't get oversold on things you can easily make for yourself.
