How safe is it to use a epsom salt mix on my plant? I read both positive and negative things about it.Im growing in soil is it a bad idea?
It's easy to make things complicated by trying to add everything in the store but I'll tell you what I do. I grow in soil. I water a couple times a week. I mix a weak solution of hydro nutes in with the water and never worry about anything else. If you are having some kind of problems you might think about it but if your plants are looking good don't change anything.
Yea I just want to use it because some of my lower leaves are necrosis and yellowing and I also see some purple stems on some fan leaves.I just cant figure out whats wrong with the plant.Most leaves are also drooping down.
Yea I know but the plant overall is not looking so good.All of the fan leaves are drooping down and the top ones are clawed.I have been trying to figure out whats wrong for almost two weeks.My ph is fine, temps never go above 81 with lights on and never lower than 70 when off, I was feeding fox farms tiger bloom every other feeding at 1/4 strength. I just cant seem to figure out the problem.
Two choices and if you guess wrong you will probably kill it. Quit giving it nutes for awhile and see what happens. Increase the nute because it isn't getting enough and that is why it's dying. Another thing I thought of is, how often do you water it ? More than once a day is probably too much. Every other day is probably better.
hey again, a drop of humic acid in your water is what you're lacking. Duhhh sorry I didnt catch all your post explaining what nutrient you're using. Good luck
Epsom salt mixes are normally used if there is either a calcium or a magnesium deficiency in your plants. Yellowing of lower foliage is normal over the course of time. Fan leaves typically can get purple and even strains such as my blueberry naturally have purple stems. That is good you are diluting your fox farm nutes because if you use the recommended dosage on their label it does not apply to all marijuana plants because some strains hunger for it while others do not tolerate it. The question would be what stage is your plant in? Vegetative or Flowering. The next question would be at what week is your plant in. If you are way off on the fox feeding schedule then you would be introducing nutrients in the wrong sequence, meaning you could be giving your plant the wrong nutrients in the wrong phase of development.
