Roots Organics makes a liquid P-K only fertilizer that can be used as a Bloom boost or fade formula. It is called HPK and is a 0-4-3
You could make basically the same thing with individual ingredients way cheaper. If you wanted to use their formula it's 1 cup rock phosphate, 1/4 cup 0-11-0 seabird guano, 3.25 TBLS langbeinite. That makes a 0-3.96-3.08 mix. Damn close to the 0-4-3. This type of math is fun to me. It's like counting out sacks.

What I usually use for P is bat guano. And kelp, plus extra langbeinite or potassium sulfate for K, depending on if I want to add Mg or not. Fish bone meal is good too, but when I see a deficiency I always go to the guano.

My well water along with other amendments I use already have enough Ca. So I try to limit my Ca sources. Rock phosphate has more Ca than I need.

I just started getting some P deficiency mid flower in some organic no-till soil and so I just gave it some 0-7-0 bat guano and hopefully the cannibilizing slows down. If you want to check it out I posted a pic in my journal last night. https://www.icmag.com/threads/gg4-monster-crop.18131341/post-18737516
