Howdy all! Have a quick question, right now im having some magnesium deficiency and need to add some Epsom salts (mag) to my plant, would it be better to put it in a gallon of water and just water the plant with that, or to add it to water and folair spray the leaves? Cant really find a exact answer :/ The only reason why im using this is because i cant get cal mag atm.

Thanks all! :) :)

Its my first grow (disclaimer) , but so far so good. Im using distilled water which is like RO water. I add a tiny bit (maybe 1/8 teaspoon) per gallon of Epsom salt every time i water. Never had any mag deficiencies

You put your plants to bed Wet??
Is there a specific reason why you wouldn't do this? I though you would do it at night, because the water can act as a magnifying glass and burn your plant? I have no idea LOL please correct me if im wrong. (im still very new at this, any help is EXTREMELY appreciated)

Thank you! :)
