Pureharvest - first off, thanks!

I guess I was thinking of this all wrong. I thought I could mix up 50 gallons or so of diluted (plant usable) mixture of the 4-8-18, Ca(NO3)2, and MGSO4 which would be blended through the dosatron with the main irrigation water coming through the hose.

But that would leave me with very little nutrient at the plant. A 1200ppm mix added at a 1:100 ratio by the injector is only 12 ppm. doh!

Back to the drawing board. I don't think three injectors are in the cards due to cost and I don't have room for a 250gal tank in my yard.

edited to add that I just looked and I can get used 125, 150 or 250 IBC tanks locally here for $10, might have to see if I can find room....
