I give you a lot of credit recognizing there may be some over feeding going on! I am going to be honest, I am a little worried about the quantity and redundancy of the different nutrients you are currently using. I count four different bloom boosters for example. The plants don't eat the nutrients and will not grow better from being fed more. Instead the salts will cause the plant to be unable uptake water and nutrients correctly through their roots. They need a life stage appropriate nutrient ratio, and balanced ppm/EC (I run at 1.3ec without issue). If you mix too much between brands and and products and are not careful about the order you add them you may run into some problems! And it's going to cost a lot of 💲💲💲 I typically calculate the ratios of base nutrients based on manufacturer feeding charts or other reputable sources. Then I chose additional supplements based on the plant need (cal-mag, silica, a bloom booster, fulvic acid, and enzymes covers all my needs). During the grow I determine a healthy ppm/EC, which is usually about half the manufacturer recommendations, but will depend on growing style, genetics, and environmental factors. This way you are giving the plant what it needs, for a lower cost and possibly better results. You have a nice setup and the plants are looking pretty green, so I'm sure they will do well! Happy growing 🌱

I’m not an expert, my only critique would be if it’s you’re first grow, start basic and work from there. Does seem like a bit of overkill but if it’s working well then might as well keep it up
