Oh, yes, that's right. Good catch Andy. 😀 I'm like Pavlov's dog - too conditioned to blurting out "click on the sponser's link"...

Simon D said:Hi James,
All I can do is back-up what's already been reported/advised to you.
As Chris1004 said it takes next to no time to "roll your own".
As you will probably read on the train tomorrow, the important thing is to be consistent but not be too worried about 1/16 teaspoon amount of KH2PO4 etc. I have a set of teaspoon measures and the smallest is 1/8th so just over a half of that teaspoon will do (never less, more is better).
Once you've mixed this a couple of times (and seen the results) you will realise that accuracy is not as important as consistency. The reason behind the consistency is basically adjustment, as no two tank set ups are the same. [flow, tap water, filter, substrate, live stock levels............. ] Plants will tell you if they need more of something!
I mix my EI salts into a solution (with distilled water) for ease of dosing, this takes me no more than 5 minutes a month.
Hope this helps

Also, one never needs to worry about overdosing. Overdosing produces overgrowth.
