Your hardscape seems fine, only other suggestions I can give is to try out different rocks in the future to mix things up. I'm sure when the tank grows in the hardscape will look even better. A lot of aquascaping is "trial and error" ... oftentimes it just takes getting used to until you get a good feel for what looks good.

I'm not 100% about the ferts, I think the nutrients that are found in the soil is enough; this is why it's important to use a nutrient dense substrate like ADA AS. Regarding misting ferts: I mist with a diluted Excel solution. I honestly don't know if this helps the growth or not, but for some reason I think this helps get rid of some fungus that may or may not show up in your tank; it's a good preventive measure.

I highly doubt you need CO2 in your setup when it's still growing. Reason is because the plants can easily get CO2 from the surrounding air. If you'd like, exhale into your setup a few times before "closing it up"
