This might help you ...

Suppose you were to supply micronutrients every time you watered. I would use this concentration in the total amount of water, including your pre-soak.

The amounts are in ppm:

S 28.5
Mg 57
Ca 114
Fe 2.67
Cu 0.2
Mn 0.75
Zn 0.3
B 0.67
Co 0.0357
Mo 0.0475

It's not an easy set of ratios to get. The main problem is that common sources of Magnesium include equal parts of Sulfur. You might also find it helpful to look for EDHA chelates.
