Write a nice letter to the manufacturer asking for the concentrations.
I don't know what these guys are worried about; only a small hard-core
group of enthusiasts are going to mix their own fertilizers, and half of
them would prefer to buy it off-the-shelf if they knew exactly what was
in it and the price was reasonable.

This brings up a point I've been neglecting to mention. When using
trace element mixes, always do regular water changes to prevent unused
elements from accumulating.
