I'm new to AG, so i'm no expert. From what i've read recently you need to increase your calcium with calcium sulfate to near 3000 ppm. Your ph level is fine, and the calcium sulfate will raise your level without changing your ph. Mag levels need to be around 300, so you could raise it a little with epson salts. Hope this helps but like I said, i'm new to AG.

Your organic matter seems low. It should be at least 6%, if not higher. Compost, grass clippings, peat moss, etc.
