Anyone seeing any problems with this mix ?

Can anyone see any problems with this mix? I made it based on the recipes I have seen on here, adjusted a bit to what was available locally in bulk cheaply. Gonna mix it up if I don't hear any danger warnings from anyone in the next day or so. Muchly appreciated. I veg for 4-6 weeks usually with 1 plant per sq foot in the bloom room and in 3G pots that have about 2G of mix volume in it. I am ok with top dressing if they need a boost later on, and I have some liquid organic fert I can feed if need be as well.... so I do prefer on the light side so there is no burning or lockout issues.

My compost has a high PH of 8, so I didn't want to add dolomite lime as it buffers ph and keeps it alkaline. Also my tap water is somewhat hard with a total ppm of 200 and ph 7.4 out of the tap.
