i've been learning a lot lately myself. the big thing for me was downloading hydrobuddy from scienceinhydroponics.com . GreenGene has 25min a video on downloading it and getting started... between that and getting microsoft office 365 free version with excel spreadsheets... i can sorta work my way through were i've been and were i wanna go.. fwiw I just put all my chemicals into the used column (there may be a limit or reverse calculations where you have the program adjust figures to reach a desired ppm profile) i use the other setting where i adjust the components and it tells me what i get (concentrations from weight setting). anyway it takes a second but I already feel a lot smarter.
Oh right and I started with the Jack's 321 because i was running what amounted to and outdoor hydroponic farm of superhot chilies .... i was eating through GH bottles in no time flat, so i figured i'd give jacks a try. anyway i deciced i would use hot water and mix up gallon jugs of stock at a 3,2,1 ratio A)720g PartA, B)480g CalNit, and C)240g MgSO4 in separate gallon jugs. this makes life so much easier on you its not funny, just pay attention and don't F up the numbers.. now when you go to mix up nutes its equal parts A then C then B (as jug A is already 3x jug B is already 2x and C is 1x by weight).... check it with your ec meter ... too strong dilute not strong enough add equal parts of each. i think for a 10 gal mix at 1.4ec im using something like 85ml of each, just measure it with a 50ml conical tube or somesuch
easy peasy, just make sure you get the concentrated mix right.. should last you a whole show or more.

That was my thoughts. I’m curious what Athena did for their Fade. I guess it is essentially Core without the Nitrogen.

Fade is "ice melt" Calcium Chloride with micros

There is agricultural grade Calcium Chelate EDTA that can be used with CalNit to keep the same Ca PPM, but lower your N.
It's not the cheapest of the dry fertilizers, but shouldn't impact grow costs significantly since it would be used in smaller amounts for a limited time.

1g Ca EDTA, 1.5g Calnit, 3.5g Jacks Hydro would give you 105N, 50P, 200K, 100Ca, 55Mg, 75S

Thats what I read as well. Would Cal Chloride be a good substitute?

Yeah but you gotta make sure you don't give too much Chloride. Don't use over a half gram per gallon. A half gram will give you around 45ppm Ca

Thanks for the input! I ended up going with Cal/Sul seems to be working

Basically the same 3-2-1 with Jacks but instead of 3.6 and 2.4 it’s 4 grams of A and 2 grams of B and no mag sulfate
