Nah I just mix up a couple of basic PK booster additives.
All salt based ferts are basically made from the same mineral salts,M.K.P, M.A.P, Calcium Nitrate e.t.c so if you can reverse engineer most nutrients if you want.
This. I’m just using mkp on its own. You used calcium phosphate before? Thinking it would be a good p booster without the extra k.

I use Soft Rock Phosphate in my organic soil mixes and use it instead of Super Phosphate on all the farms but it's not what I'd use in hydro for a P boost.
If you are at the stage that your ready to boost P you are ready to up K aswell.

I feel like with the base plus the mkp the girls are getting plenty of k (I’m in coco which is notorious for k related issues), I just can’t quite get rid of the purple stems on one strain atm which has been a p related issue in the past with said strain. Might just lower the base nutrient slightly and bump up the amounts of mkp I’m using

That's one of the issues you run into using a normal nutrient vs s Coco specific one. Sometimes a plant will show signs of being deficient when there's actually plenty of nutrient,it's just unavailable usually it's P.H,another element is inhibiting uptake or there's not the right amount of a micro that helps the macro do it's task.

What are using ?
I saw Glandore Hydro stocking some of their and I couldn't believe how much they were charging,$30 for a litre of Fulvic :( anyone can walk into a shop and buy 20 litres for under $130.I buy a 25 kg bag of soluble powder for $220 and each Kg makes 8L of concentrate so costs $2.20 a litre
This and resonator and monster bud will be dosed soon.
I'll mention to my mate about the soluble.
Your $30 a litre was still cheaper:o
