Additives should not be used until there is a need for them, and until you have the ability to understand why you are giving the additive(s) in the first place. Is you potting mix 3 years old as well...?

(they assume you only use that bottle on your plants) This can easily lead to overfertilizing. When in doubt, go with the online instructions.
Feeding in soil is best done (IMHO) once or twice a week (following a weekly schedule) with plain, properly ph'd water inbetween if necessary.
Test strips offer the same, cheap method of checking ingoing ph for clear water. (any tinting will skew the color-coded result...even with test strips) A ph pen would let you test runoff.

Every other additive you are using is overkill, and you are doing more damage by not knowing how to use 'em.
You should also think seriously about purchasing some fresh product, and do not fall for the marketing hype. Grow with the basics till you know how to troubleshoot the damage you're likely to encounter as a result of overdoing it.
Are you using any side-lighting? Just curious...
