Cheers for that Doc
High lighted some areas i had over looked or was not aware off & i am pleased to know i am on the right tracks, hopefully in a couple of months time i'll be able to add a high brix journal of my own to the collection here at 420
Other amendments than the exact ones I use can get you there, with a couple exceptions.
There must be calcium carbonate, and other mineral forms of calcium. If you can find some field stripeing chalk, read the bag carefully. If it says, "Calcium carbonate, 90% (or better)" you're good here. There are rock dust products in your area, just search for them.
Soft rockphosphate isn't used in the mix for phosphorus....most of the P in SRP isn't available to the plant for months. It's a colloidal clay and has all kinds of calcium and trace minerals. The clay is also fantastic for CEC, which is very important.
Just do the best you can, with what you have, and think CALCIUM all the time. Find someone who grows absolutely mouth watering tomatos and find out what's in their soil. You're on the right track....just think very small rocks and calcium.
