I have the same mix, and found the following helpful:
http://www.thekrib.com/Plants/Fertilizer/dosing.html

"If the concentration of Fe in the trace element. mix is 7 percent, then one
gram of trace element powder added to 50 gallons of water is simply (0.07) x
(5.3) = 0.37 ppm."

I'm still going over it myself... time to haul out the ol' chemistry texts.
