Nutrients for hydroponics

[mic]

Hi

Looking around for a nutrient list to make my own rather than order. Came across this

255g potassium nitrate
198g calcium sulphate
170g magnesium sulphate
43g ammonium sulphate
113g monocalcium sulphate
A pinch of iron sulphate

10 grams for every gallon of water

now, that is missing phosphorus which i thought was important. from what ive read, at grow stage plants need as much phosphorus as pot nitrate with an increased dose of phosphorus when flowering.

open to any comments or suggestions please, mainly for chili plants.

thanks

how much does all that cost to buy ? their is alot of dif companys selling nutrients so they are not that expensive to get already mix for veg and flowering stages ,i tried to grow chillis this year in hydro and i still have enough left over that i can use all next year without having to get any more

From eBay and amazon for the bits it's around £20
