I suppose it'll depend on how much solution you're using.
I picked up the 25# bag of the 5-12-26 and I've barely made a dent in it.
I'm on my second kg. of cal nitrate, the amount of base I've used so far is about 1.5kg.
So, unless you're a commercial scale grower I'd say the 1kg size of the 5-12-26 should be fine.
That's enough to mix 277 gallons of nutes.

so for about 3 grows on 5 buckets 5g each, hempy style, I should be okay with 3 kg size of 5-12-26, 2 of kg size 15-0-0 calnit, and 2 of kg size mgsO4 epsom salt?

Basic ph up & down to make adjustments and good testing equipment should get it done.
I do add some benny's using Tribus and I've also found adding a silica supplement like power-si helps reduce flopping.

Thanks!!! On Saturday I will go to my local flower shop and see if they have anything useful that I can use instead of ordering supplies over seas..

If you're growing in containers Foliar Pro 9-3-6 from Dyna Gro from start to finish is hard to beat when it comes to price and ease of use. Just one bottle from start to finish.

This is really good advice for beginners, hard to beat Foliage Pro as a single nute.

It depends how hands off you want to be and what you consider acceptable yields. I'm currently running a mix with 1/3 organic "supersoil", 1/3 backyard compost and 1/3 sphagnum peat based potting mix. I sub-irrigate and just add water for the duration of the grow. Yields are currently at 0.5 to 0.75 g/Watt trimmed, dried and cured.

Doesn't get any simpler and for me, it's sufficiently effective.

What dry ammendments for the super soil?

looked into Master blend but its pretty pricey so worked out a pretty identical mix using a good fertilizer as master blend is £60+ for just 4 kg using what i found is like £60 for 50+ kg

YaraTera KRISTALON BROWN (3-11-38 + Mg, S, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo and Zn) AS BASE = 10gram
YaraTera KRISTA UP (18-44-0) 44/6 = 7.333333+ 11 = 18.3333333 10g /6 = 1.66G
Calcium Nitrate (15.5- 0 - 0) - Nova Calcium 15.5 - 9% = 14.105 + 6 = 20.105 10g - 9% = 9.1g


20.105-18.3333333-38 plus Epson salts (Magnesium sulfate) 1/2 5g per 10g of base nuit

or if a 20 18 36 is fine could try

YaraTera KRISTALON SCARLET (7.5-12-36 + Mg, S, B, Mo , Cu , Fe, Mn and Zn) AS BASE = 10gram
YaraTera KRISTA UP (18-44-0) 44/7 =6.285 + 12 = 18.2857 10g /7 = 1.42G
Calcium Nitrate (15.5- 0 - 0) - Nova Calcium 15.5 - 35% = 10.075 10g - 35% = 6.5g

this gives a 20.1464 - 18.2857 - 36

then just use the master blend calc on tool rank to work out your grams needed per gal etc
