Nutrient Questions Using Sensi Bloom 2 Part with AN supplements

So I'm running a 4 plants in a decent sized tent for them. Am running a 400 watt HPS system. I have a 1000 watt with a XXL air cooled reflector but feel that will be wasting alot of the power on that little of plants. So pretty much this is my first hydroponic attempt I have done soil in the past and am making the transition. This is kind of my trial hydro attempt to see if I want to do a 15 plant hydro room after this. But I have 4 plants each in there own commercial hydro pot with hydroton rocks, if you do not know what that is its just a netting pot in a 5 gallon pot with water in the bottom along with a air stones. My question is what I should use for my budding nutrients. I am in the 1st week now and I started with Sensi bloom 2 part formula. But I have a ton of other nutrient supplements I could use as well. What I have is advanced nutrients big bud, bud candy, B-52, and grandmas H-2 acid.. and I have botanicares Hydroplex

This is what I'm thinking to use In a 2 gallon res (8L)

Sensi Bloom 2 part 35ml each A & B Weeks 1-6
Big Bud. 20ml Weeks 2-6
B-52 20ml Weeks 3-6
Bud Candy 20m Weeks 1-6
Hydroplex???
PPM with those amounts without adding hydroplex would be around 1100-1150ppm. I will start the first weeks a little lower at like 1000ppm till week 3 then go up to that and finish weeks 4-5 around maybe 1250-1350 I'm thinking I dono this is my first time I'm just kind of going off my book but it says I could go all the way up to 1700ppm but that just seams a bit high. Is that??

Think that would be a good formula?? I would use the grandmas H-2 Acid but found out Sensi bloom has that inside there formula. I am not sure if I should incorporate botanicares hydroplex into the formula or not, I kindof think I should because it has a high P ratio which Sensi bloom does not.... I dono is there anybody that is using these products together or at least some of them that has any ideas on what I should use and amounts?? Any input helps thankyou... Also how do you suppose to add the Sensi bloom 2 part forumula, like can I just add part A & B together or do I have to put them in separate jugs of water let them sit for like 10 minutes then add them together?? Never have done a two part formula before and there's no directions on it. Thank RollItUp Community for reading this!!!

That's just the problem with all the AN additives. How in the hell are you supposed to make ppm room for all that shit? You're gonna start a week one plant on 1000ppm? Don't even think about doing that...especially with AN Sensi. That stuff is super concentrated. I was burning my week four plants with 600ppm.

And you're gonna run your veg with Sensi Bloom?

Thanks for the input. I ran my first week at 750ppm with all my advanced nute products no burns, did week two at 800ppm. If I start seeing burns though I will Lower them dramatically. Do you guys think it's good to use all the AN additives or should I just stick with the Sensi bloom two part.. What's your guys opinion on botanicares hydroplex, I was thinking about using it to higher my PK ratio cause Sensi blooms is pretty low.. I ran my veg with botanicare grow nutrient which found it grew very well in hydro very well.. Thanks for the input guys. Do any of you know if I can use any of tue products I have as a foliar spray feed?? Or is it even necessary too?? I will start up a grow journal soon whenever I get the chance and show exactly what levels of ppm and nutes I used with many pictures =)
