Epsom Salts and PPM

Adding one teaspoon of epsom salts to 3 liters raises my ppm quite a bit. Is it ok to rise much higher than your normal ppm with epsom salts if you're correcting a deficiency?

I'm adding the salts with my normal fert mix because i have large pots and they only get watered once every 4 or 5 days.

What do you consider high? How much does it change? I have no problem and I use FF.

for mag and sulfur deficiencies I use to add 1/4 teaspoon per gallon then I got smart and am using BC neuts and all the problems went away

Shit I forgot to add I grows in Pro-Mix. For hydro I'm using Botanicare w/ cal/mag.

Maybe i was just adding too much. I'm growing in soil too by the way and my normal nute feed is about 800-1000ppm, it raised it to about 1800. Like i said - i guess i just put too much in...

Wow. I use it and it doesn't effect my ppm's too much. Here's what I use. I use anywhere from 1-3 tsp per gallon. I didn't check my last mix but I still have some left. Give me a minute and I'll go check the PPM.

With the ferts and the salt it was 1000 and some change. I don't use it the whole grow, just here and there as needed.

Cheers for checking that.

Is that in liquid form? What was the before (before as in, nutes but no ES) and after ppm? Also you say 1 - 3 tsp, how many did you add exactly?

I'll mix up a batch without the salt tonight to check, I added one heaping tbsp to 4 gallons of water, so It's probably 1.25-1.5 tsp per gallon roughly. It's not in liquid form no.
