I think I still have the keyboardist's cell number somewhere. I worked with them when they moved out to Santa Cruz for a couple of years. Honestly they were mostly pretentious dicks. First time I met them was when they showed up at the venue I managed for a sold out show, wanting to all get in for free with their girlfriends. I did a fun project with their keyboardist called "Santa Cruz Hemp Allstars". They only did 5 shows ever, but it was all completely unwritten impromptu stuff. Tell your buddy to check them out.

are you still in the business?

Yep. I'm one of the lucky few to stay employed full time in my industry during the pandemic. I did make around $20k less in 2020 due to lack of overtime however.

Man a lot of bands I've been meeting have been pretentious dicks. I'd be pretty grumpy on tour with a fuggin' van too I guess.
Are you a producer and musician? What do you specialize in man? Before Covid I paid all the bills with shows and have made a few modest EPs at home.

I consider myself a tech, but these days I do more supervision than anything else. Venue management is what I've been doing for the past 10 years, but I'm also an IATSE Journeyman. I've also been a talent buyer/agent, tour manager, box office worker, bar tender/back, truck loader, promo/marketing assist, production manager, and front door man. I've pretty much done a bit of it all, but these days prefer the easy stuff, so am behind a desk a good bit of the time. I do play a bit of music from time to time, but don't consider myself a musician.

Looking good. If you add fulvic acid to your mix, you might get it down to 1.4.

My 25 pound bag of 5-12-26 showed up today. Amazon was the cheapest I could find. $71.80 delivered. $52.31 for the Cal nit on the way. 6 pound bags of 100% Mag sulfate delivered for 6.49 on amazon fresh. No more water deliveries.

Just made a batch of the RO at 1/4 strength with Epson and it’s sitting at 280tds /ppm @ 500 scale with a little ph up it now sits at 5.7 and you can just tell it’s not moving I let sit over night just so I can double check and perfect ph still ! That is one of they biggest battles in growing , now solved for me I’m putting the plants in right now from the cloner they got a little too big for it so been needing to do this . So now I can really see what Jacks is made of starting veg now !

Is there any different between the RO formula and 5-12-26 part A formula aside from PH stability? Does the RO kind also require the Calcium Nitrate, or is it one part? I'm about to switch from Mega Crop, and my setup is using RO water to flood to waste in coco. I'm not sure exactly which I should buy.

It is just the one part, we will see I guess it's got everything it needs and also u have to had Mag " Epson salt"

Be aware. The RO formula alone has less Ca than 321 using calnit.
I needed to supplement with a few ml of Calimagic for my coco grows. Adding more calnit is an option but results in higher N than using Calimagic.
Adding epsom is good for adjusting Mg and Sulfer levels if needed.
Elemental PPM compare...

I love growgreenmi, they had it even cheaper a few weeks ago, grrr should have bought it then. I'll get a bag once I'm done with my current grow, I'll start using it with a fresh set of plants in May and do a journal.

I think I'm just going to use the 321. I've never had much luck with one part formulas. Plus I mix before I water and dump most of my res flooding anyway.

i'm running the RO formula with my well water (due to a pH drop with the Tap) and i don't need any more Ca or Mg.
did you have the Ca issue when using RO water with coco?

I just order the 321, calnit and epsom salt. I also ordered a Bluelab truncheon. I think I should have been using epsom salt with Mega Crop because I was getting a mag deficit that I couldn't figure out.
TintEastwood

Yes. I do use RO and coco.
Some use 321 and never need extra Ca or Mg.
I usually have to supplement a lil extra during veg and early flower.
