soil-media soil mix question

Hi everyone.. I have a question... I mix fox farm ocean forest,fox farm happy frog and pro mix hp equal parts of each for my plants .. should I add compost if so what do guys recommend.. I also add kelp, worm castings and lime.. thanks to everyone in advance ..
 
Those are very good mediums, I wouldn't add the amendments.   Make a tea of them and water with after a couple of months when they have started to exhaust the soil and top dress with the dregs. 
 
oceans forest has a ridiculous amount of nutrients already you don't really need to add any more amendments / fertilizers till like 3 months later(besides calcium, so maybe put some lime in there)
