I'll do a price breakdown.
I also forgot to mention, do NOT PH the white vinegar. Flush at three time the container size, then let it sit for 24hrs. Do this because the dissolved salts can over fertilize your plants. After the 24hrs, flush once more with PHed water at 1 1/2 times the container. Now you can feed your plants like normal. This is for Coco coir.

Beneficial Biologics offers free samples, direct to your hydro store, It's enough to last a long time. Here's what they give you.
Sea Green, Kelp Logic, Humic, Root Bloom bennies.
Great White also offer free samples through plant success.The only thing you'll need to buy is unsulfured molasses at about $3. I also bought 1 gallon of Growmore Seaweed for $20. The growmore works best at 0.75ml a gallon for hydro or coco and will last a lifetime. 1 liter of this stuff is plenty, 1 gallon is super over kill.
