fertilizer Is this a good soil mix for my peppers and do I need to add fertilizer?

I was wondering if the following is a good soil mix for peppers and if I need to add fertilizer at any time? I have 34 pepper starts planted in this soil in 5 gallon containers. Also, each plant gets about six and a half hours of direct sunlight a day (I live in Sonoma County, California) Is this enough light for healthy growth/decent yield?

Here are the soil contents:

"Organic Nursery contains:Organic Horse Compost 1/8- red lava sand, 5/16- crushed red lava rock, 1/4-fir bark, Oyster shell flour, Blood meal, Bone meal, Kelp meal, Azomite® and Soil Sulfur."

I have:

Thai Peppers

Habanero-Savina

Manzano

Serrano

Jalapeno

Chinese 5 color

Bulgarian carrot

Long thin cayenne

Black Hungarian

Vietnamese multicolor

Thai red chilli

Beaver damn

Sweet Carmen


Filiius Blue


Thank you for your help!
 
Thank you Megahot! How much perlite and limestone should I add and how often? (sorry, new to this) Here is a picture of half of the garden:

Just take care to let them get very dry before watering. Then use either an organic compost tea or soluble fertilizer.
