Urban Farms Texas Tomato Food has a lot of use by people on this forum. It comes in both liquid and dry form.

I grow with subirrigated planters and containers and use Haifa MKP,
CalNitrate, MagSulf, and Micros initially,
and then switch to Haifa Multi-npK to finish.
Happy with the results.
I liked Floranova when I used it.
A good foliar can help too, such as Neptune's Bloom

I've used a number of fertilizers in my SIPs, along with the ca nitrate, epsom salts, and some of the micronutrients that I use in the hydroponics. Everything seems to work well. I just found a new (to me) organic fertilizer, really cheap at Ollie's - Ecoscraps tomato/vegetable 5-4-6 fertlizer, which I'm going to test, and compare this season.

In the other thread you started, you should have mentioned that you were growing in containers. That pretty much puts solid organics out. Liquid or water soluble or something like Shake and feed for containers are your choices. I use CRF MG Shake and Feed when I make my mix, and then Texas Tomato Food for regular fertigation.

Been using Miracle-gro for tomatoes for decades. Don't plan on changing. Gets good results in ground and in containers back when I did containers.
Can't beat it as far as I'm concerned.
