Let's think about it in terms of what the bacteria and fungi actually do with your macronutrients in the soil, especially nitrogen and phosphorus:
Earthworm castings are rich in microbes and bacteria that "cycle" nitrogen from organic forms (amino acids, urea, etc.) to mineral forms ammonium and then nitrate. To me, this screams veg. with organic N fertilizers or urea. Of course it is irrelevant if you're using a nitrate fertilizer.
Compost AKA Humus Soil is rich in fungi and microbes that cycle soil phosphorus. This would be important if you're using organic forms of phosphorus; again it is fairly irrelevant for growers using phosphoric acid fertilizer. A side note, mycorrhizal fungi will not associate with plant roots in a high P environment, and species in the Cannabaceae family have particularly poor affinity with AM fungi, so don't waste your time with these.
I start with a bacteria heavy tea once or twice during veg. Once I flip to flower, I give them fungal-dominant tea once or twice. I recommend you do the same
