The complete asshole response I just got from a General Hydroponics rep...

I never indicated I was mixing calcium nitrate with epsom salt, but thank you for sharing common knowledge we are all already aware of. Calcium nitrate and epsom salt are 2 of the main components in Jack's 3 2-1. They have to be added to the reservoir separately if that isn't too difficult a concept for you to grasp. If I were you I'd call them and tell them to pull their product immediately. Their chemists got it all wrong, and thanks to your incredible insight the company's future will be saved from calamity. Don't ever change sir. You're amazing.
That is correct you can mix them separately in a two part solution but you did indicate you were mixing them together. I find it rather odd you are bashing a company that won't tell you to mix solutions that will cause a precipitation problem. The reason you can mix them together in a reservoir is because there is plenty of H20 that will dilute it enough, but you didn't know that precipitation is occurring at a small rate in the reservoir. Just trying to help you out. Have a nice day!

I assure you once you get a little older and out of your parent's basement you'll stop being embarrassed by minor indiscretions such as sending, posting, and discussing an angry email sent to a prick of a customer service representative and then discussing it with total strangers on the internet. There are bigger things to be embarrassed about in life. Like trying to relieve a little abdominal pressure while waiting for a dentist appointment in a quiet nicely decorated lobby as you discreetly raise one butt cheek and confidently push only to find out your confidence was misplaced and you're in desperate need of a fresh pair of underwear and a wet wipe. Now that's something to keep to yourself.
I find my arguing with Customer Service reps has gotten worse as I age (over 60). I think going through the phone tree before getting to someone doesn't help my mood. :cool:
