either one of these work great for fulvic, right now i have the super K fulvate, but I've had the regular in the past. Foliar application with fulvic, a wetting agent, and magnesium sulphate is my go to.

Small volume measuring: Combine 1 tsp. per gal. ≈ 150 ppm N. Follow these steps to obtain a precipitate free solution. This product is part of a 2-step formulation. It must be used in combination with soluble Calcium Nitrate 1. Dissolve 1.3 oz. (2 tbsp.) of 5-12-26 in 10 gal. of final feed solution. You will obtain the following elemental PPM concentrations: Element N P K Mg SO4 Fe Mn Zn Cu B Mo PPM 50 52 215 63 246 3 .50 .15 .15 .50 .10 Mix this solution very well, then proceed to step 2. 2. Dissolve 0.86 oz. (approx. 5 tsp.) of soluble Calcium Nitrate into the above 10 gal. solution. The mixture of Step 1 and Step 2 will produce a total nutrient concentration of 150 ppm N and 116 ppm Ca. E.C. at 150 ppm N=3.15 in pure or RO water Limit of Solubility=3 lb./gal.

I run about the same ratio. During flower I decrease my calnit a bit to keep N levels on the lower end of things.
I would guess a lot of the deficiencies some people notice are due to the inherent high potassium levels in coco:

So if potassium is too high you struggle getting enough Ca & Mg into the plant.

Also worth noting for first timers that you need a vessel greater (much greater is easier) than 1 gallon to mix.. my first time I quickly realized this when I added my water back into my distilled water jug and couldn't fit all of it. Came out strong of course.
The jug of jacks gets pretty hot and funny smelling when you mix it. So I now make quart batches and mix in a half gal ball jar. I store it in quart jars and have screw on pour caps.
Don't forget to measure using ec

I use it. A mil per gal. Primarily for ph. Secondly to boost k just a bit and lastly for the silica. I have strong branches and dense buds. But idk what happens if I skip it.
I use agsil made into a stock solution
I purchase the 5 lb bags and make my own solution

560g per 1 gal of ro water. use at 1-2ml per gallon. Works as a great ph up as well

Same ^
I blew though a quart of protekt in less than 2 weeks. Had to stop that shit

Go back and read my last post, gaurantee you won't get yellowing if you use those ratios. Had same prob when first started using Jacks played around with different ratios.
1tbs per 5gal Jack's 5-12-26
3tsp per 5gal calcium nitrate
DONE!
PEACE!

...don't 3 tsp equal 1 tbl? I do concur though, equal parts by volume is the way to go in veg.
Do you run this 1:1 ratio all the way through both veg and flower? Do you know how it breaks down with ec by chance?

Third vote in favor of equal parts (by ec or weight imo) for veg. Darker growth and if you miss a feeding you won't get a massive fade
Jacks tbs=21 grams
Calnit tbs=17.5 grams
Quite abit more then 321 weight wise. I ll give it a try tho thanks!
What are you running your ec at throughout the whole cycle?
