My living soil amendments,how does it look?

OK so im planing my outdoor grow and just want to hear what the community has to say about it, plan is 5 -45 gallon smart pots with Nirvana's Wounder woman in them. I have the soil and compost for my base haven't decided on worm castings yet (on a budget). But soil amendments are as follows-

---Cover Crop Seeds: Hairy Vetch, Winter Peas, Forage Collards, Winter Rye, Crimson Clover, More 1lb Pouch
---Dolomite Lime Plus Magnesium and Calcium "Greenway Biotech Brand" 5 Pounds
---Down To Earth 6-Pound Granular Azomite
---Down To Earth 6-Pound Oyster Shell Flour
---Down To Earth 5-Pound Kelp Meal
---Down To Earth 6-Pound Fish Bone Meal
---7 cu ft rice hulls
Is their anything i should consider adding or subtracting? I have been looking at bio tech as well, any input is appreciated..

Instead of the individual amendments I'd just use one or two of the DTE ready made mixes. I always use Bio Live since it has most all of the major bacterial and mycological inoculants. I also use it with their All Purpose and/or Rose,Flower, Bulb mix.

As far as using 45 gallon pots you'll have to plant late to keep the plants from being root bound. I'd prefer to build amended planting beds and spend the money that I saved on the pots on bags of soil to make the beds bigger. Even with fairly poor native soil you can amend it into huge beds for the same cost of buying and filling relatively small pots.
