Accidentally mixed my nutes in the bottle

Hey I made a dumb mistake
I was making my water and mixed my nutes in their bottle.
I am using fox farms liquid nutes
I pour some out of the bottle into a shot glass then syringe out the 5ml I need
Then I pour my excess when i have it back into the bottle
Rinse my shot glass and syringe.
But this time I got distracted
My wife came in needing a hand with groceries.
I had already added my
5 ml of grow big (6-4-4) into my hugs
But I moved my bottle
I came back and went on to step two
I grabbed my tiger bloom (2-8-4)
And opened it grabbed the shot glass poured it into the open bottle and realized what I'd just done.

Before i go farther what can i do.

My tiger bloom has around 15 ml of the wrong nutes in the bottle.
Is my tiger ruined? Im going to go get another bottle as soon as I can but that's going to be a day or two.

Now to make matters worse
My girls are recovering from na house fire, cold temps, a drought and lack of light.

On 12-30 my kitchen caught fire
I got it out but had to cut electricity in my house until 1-7 when it was finally repaired.
During this week they only received what light they could from a window
And the temperatures were in the low 50° most of the time
While maintaining a job and wife working and a dog barking and the lunar gravitational pull I didn't get around to watering them until 1-5

I was going to give them a shot of veg nutes to help them thru the shock I'd just put them thru but here I am
For now I'm not giving them anything in the hopes I can get more nutes tomorrow
But what are my options?
Is my tiger bloom wrecked?

I don't know off hand - but page 12 and 13 of this .pdf ( http://www.productstewardship.eu/fileadmin/user_upload/user_upload_prodstew/documents/Guidance_for_compatibility2.pdf ) show what chemicals are incompatible and why. It would take a some time to cross reference the two product labels and their derivation sources.

One issue I see is the calcium nitrate (in tiger bloom) with the potassium and magnesium sulfates (in grow big) - this will cause the calcium to precipitate out of solution and form gypsum.

I'm not sure how much damage has been done, and I assume that since you only got a small amount of the growbig in there that it would be minimal.

Personally, I would still use it (that shits expensive) because it might not be optimum, but I really doubt your plants will notice.
Good luck
