200th slab poured, finally rethinking my mix ratio

Hit my 200th residential slab last week outside of Tulsa, and I used to swear by a 5 sack mix for everything. But number 200 cracked near the walkway corner, and my supplier pointed out the slump was too stiff for the 90 degree heat. Switched to a 6 sack with more water reducer on the next job, worked way better. Anyone else track their pour count and adjust based on failures instead of wins?

Cracked my first one last summer and the entire crew just stared at it like it owed us money.
