Hey I recently figured out whats wrong with my plant, i read a website with bad info and started blasting my plant with 900-1100 ppms of nutes when its maybe a foot and a half tall and not even 3 weeks into flower, lulz. anyway so that led to nute burn and an Mg deficiency because my fert doesnt have any Mg in it. Anyway i got that sorted out, flushed it with water, pH 6.7 now im waiting 3-4 days to give it half strength nutes(prob around 400-450 ppms)
Anyway epsom salt question, do i mix the 1T with a gallon and only spray it on the plant? or do i also mix 1T of ES with some pH 6.7 and flush it again?

Sorry if the question is stupid but to me personally, spraying pH'd water with epsom salts doesnt sound like it will give it the proper Mg it needs and everywhere i check, people only mention "SPRAYING" it on their plants lol, thanks.

Also is it better to spray it on the underside of the plants or the top?

Thanks

You can spray but you will get unsightly salt deposits on your leaves. Not necessarily a bad thing, but preference. You can also add Epsom salts to the rez, but you maybe more comfortable trying a product like Cal-Mag from Botanicare. Good luck! :peace:

1 level teaspoon per gallon.
less is better when using epsons as to much will lock out other nutes.
you can always up it but cant take it back out.
(good luck).

LUDA.
