nutrients Pre-mixing concentrated nutes in advance

This is something I started doing last week, and made a video of the process. My goal was to make it easier to mix gallons of nutes without having to mix/measure grams for every batch. Basically mixed concentrated amounts of MasterBlend, Epsom Salt and Calcium Nitrate in individual jugs. Then pour out 1/2 cup from each to mix one gallon of the target strength, such as:
 
2.4 g/gal MB (76.8 g/gal concentrated)
1.2 g/gal Epsom Salt (38.4 g/gal concentrated)
2.4 g/gal Calcium Nitrate (76.8 g/gal concentrated)
 
It can be scaled up or down to whatever, within reason.
I saw something very similar to this on here a while back, but can't find it. I think they were using the same general process, but mixing 1 cup each to create 5gal/mix..
 
I like that idea!  Adv Nutes has me having to mix each and every gallon, when I need it and not in advanced (haha no pun intended).  Might just have to give this a try.
 
Commercial liquid nutes are concentrated stock solutions so there`s no need to do anything ;)
I find standard 1:100 stock solutions (500g/5L) the most convenient.
