    Default Epsom salts

    Hi guys hope ur all well,
    Just a quickie, I'm growing in hydro and have a magnesium problem, only mild! first time using Epsom salts, just wondered how to do so? Dissolve in water and add to tank!? Also how much and does it matter if the e.c goes high to sort this issue or do I need to keep in the range of what my nutrient feed is?
    Thanks everyone,
    All the best

    Howdy

    I mix with calmag, 1 teaspoon per litre in warm water, don't bother ph'ing. Lift your lights up and apply as a foliar soaking, undersides of leaves in particular! Once dry, probably an hour or so, drop your lights back down, repeat in a few days if required.

    If it's definetly a mag problem then 1 tspn per litre of Es and then soak them & like rocko says, make sure the lights are lifted as high as possible until dry then drop the lights..

    As the boys said foliar spray it, if you add it to your res will throw the EC right out.

    I was three weeks in flower in a packed out tent so added to my res at an Ec of 0.3 but kept my total Ec the same so had less Nutes in there.
