Default Suggestion for nutrients

Hi,

I am Naeem Khan from Bangladesh. I am totally new in hydroponic. It is almost impossible here to get good fertilizers with all the trace elements (everyone buys different chemical fertilizers and use those). But, if I want to import masterblend, calcium nitrate and epsom salt, I will need permission from more than two ministries which is not possible for me. This is why hydroponic system is not popular here. After searching for some time, I have found only one fertilizer that comes close to what I need. The fertilizer has the following elements:
  • Nitrogen: 12%
  • Phosphorous: 16%
  • Potassium: 22%
  • Sulfur: 6.5%
  • Zinc
  • Iron
  • Copper
  • Manganese
  • Molybdenum

I know its not enough. It stills lacks Calcium, Magnesium, Boron. I think I can collect Calcium nitrate (for calcium), Epsom Salt (for Magnesium) and some form of boron. As I am a newbie, I am not sure whether it will work if I collect and mix all those.

If I can collect all the ingredients, can anyone suggest me any ratios to mix?

Thanks in advance.
