Default Overwatered with extremely hard water
Hey everybody, First post here.

I know for a fact that I have been over-watering with extremely hard water. The little 2 week old sprouts are in rough shape, still growing but very slowly with symptoms like rust spots red stems and leaf tips curling upwards. There is either salt or calcium buildup on the outside of the pots as well.

The question is should I flush the already over-watered plants with RO water or should I allow the pots to dry out before I start feeding them the RO water with some epsom salts?

Let them dry out and then water them. I would forget about the epsom salts.

Alright thanks man I figured just as much. I was just thinking about the epsom salt because I know for a fact that my water is loaded with calcium. If that white residue on the pot is salt would it not be a good idea to throw some epsom salts in with my feed? I know for sure that theres a mg lockout going on.

At 2 weeks you dnt have any nute lock out. Go to the store and buy a gallon of water and water them with that.
