Good idea?

I am a somewhat experienced grower with about 90 plants over 10-11 grows. I’ve been growing in coco with great results. I have no interest in leaving Coco. That being said, one of the issues with hydroponics is that you just don’t get the same flavor and aroma. I have been doing what I can to improve on this including weekly compost tea top dressings, adding molasses, seaweed extract and Epsom salts to my routine feedings as well as terpine enhancers like Terpinator and TPS signal.
I am considering adding worm castings to my 70/30 cocoa/perlite mix. Maybe 50/20/30 worm castings?
I would like to know your thoughts on whether this is a good idea with Coco and if you think it will have effect.

Personally I would say no. I am a coco grower and don't understand what this issue could be other than your environment. I have found no issues with flavor or aroma in my 70/30 coco grows.
