You're K is waaaaaaaaaaay low (needs to be around 300 to 350). Your Mg needs to go up too (300). Calcium isn't bad but you could use some more. I'm not to sure about the rest. Most of it look good, like OM, pH isn't bad, CEC is good.

Go easy with the Boron unless you are into creating mutants. Sweet corn sounds like a good idea, maybe a few 'maters as well.
