Default epson salt?

would it do me any good to use epson salt ?
I'm using
30ml of h202
1 tbs of bloom burst
3 tsp of molasses
3 drops of supper thrive
in fresh rain watter. mix fresh every watering in a clean gallon jug.

things are looking good at this point. but well you know we all want better. if the epson salt will work how do i go about using it and what is it that it will do .

i have read that it boost resin production if given early on in flowering. and then given at the end of flowering but i cant find the dosing instructions or if it really works .

Can't say for sure, but I add 1/4 tsp. to almost all my waterings and never have had any lack of potassium issues.
I figure better a little constantly than a lot EVER.

Isnt epsom salt magnesium sulfate? And isnt it considered a secondary nutrient in terms of need?

epson salts is to supplement magnesium, and I have to think that if you have a complete nute system with secondary nutrients you shouldnt need any.

also, I also want to say that amount of H2O2 might be a bit high, but I dont oxygenate my water that way, so I'm not sure.

Not sure. I don't grow very scientifically . . . more of a "what's always worked" type farmer, in the less is more vein.
I did read on RIU recently that molasses helps w/magnesium, but haven't verified yet. If so, since I've started using molasses in budding, I'll likely retard my epsom salts ritual, at least during bud cycle.

what he said. epson salts will provide magnesium which is used by the plant for photosynthesis. you can also use CalMag too. the problem with epson salts though is that it is a salt and will make your PH fluctuate so be sure to watch that.
