Whatever you do don't mix base nutrients. Looks too me like you have 3 base nutrients there. IDK for sure but I don't believe Fox Farm is for purely Soil. It can be used in soilless also if I am not mistaken so really I would choose Xnutrients or Fox farm base then choose your additives from there. When choosing your additives look up what they are and don't use two of the same ones. You will run into problems adding too much of 1 thing which most companies have 1 of most things. Sweet will be a sweetner/Molasses. Clearex I believe is a flushing agent. Etc..

Why would you buy a completely different line when you have 3 different base nutes already? Those Base nutes are plenty good for what you are doing so no reason to spend extra money on those. If you were to spend more money on Nutes I would personally add a few additives. If you want an amazing Root additive I would look into Roots Excelurator. Bloom Booster check out MOAB by Mad Farmer. Are you going to run Beneficial bacteria, Mycos, Trichoderma? If you are H202, Hydrogen peroxide will kill it so you need to decide what your priority is. Roots Excelurator has beneficial bacteria in it and H202 or a product like it will kill it off and pretty much make it useless.

Are you going to use RO water? If using tap water you shouldn't have to use Cal Mag. My favorite line by far is House and Garden so if I were you and wanted to buy new Base Nutes I would run House and Garden Aqua Flakes. www.house-garden.us ... If you have a money to spend the initial price of house and garden is more than most but they are by far more concentrated by other nutrient lines which in the end make bottles last longer and the price per gal to mix cheaper. I've never ran a DWC system so you would have to get others take on that. I have heard people love House and Garden in DWC. h202 will kill beneficials but h202 will keep a clean system. House and Garden also makes a product called Drip Clean which should help keep your system clean and wouldn't kill beneficials if you do decide to run that line with beneficials. Also House and Garden has a FAQ section where they will respond fairly fast so you should never have complications with their line because of their fast responses.
