Adding magnesium

[Holeleeshet]

I’m trying to figure out how to add magnesium to my plants without having to add big blooms quiet yet. I’m in week 3 of veg and I used miracle gro soil with those pellets so I’m holding off on adding nutrients until it takes in most of the extended releases. Instead of 15 ml every other watering like it recommended I’m gonna dilute it to half the amount to prevent leaf burn. I just noticed it was lacking mag from some of the leafs edges and purple stems are in certain spots.

Epsom salts

Foliar spray Epsom salts. 1 tablespoon per gallon of water. Finest mist possible. Before or after lights out.

Foliar feeding with kelp can help, as well as .5 -1 teaspoon epsom salt in a gallon of water as a drench. I'll also dilute a quarter teaspoon of epsom in my foliar mix if I'm behind and lacking magnesium.

Wow. A tablespoon?

I feed them 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water, root drench, not foliar, when I have a deficiency, seems to work after a few doses, then I dial it down a bit.

Yes and make sure it’s unscented.

“Quick fix for magnesium deficiency in cannabis plants
A magnesium foliar spray is made by mixing one tablespoon of Epsom salts with four litres of water. This mixture is then sprayed onto the plants every three days, with a clean water spray every ten days to ensure residue does not build up on the leaves.”

Finest mist possible. Don’t make a habit of it. Feed it next time.

That's funny because I just got done cleaning a bunch of trays and irrigation tubes / pumps with Dr. Bronners lavender soap. That stuff is aggressively lavenderized. I meant to buy the scentless hemp kind, and now I have to find ways to use it up.

My favorite is people skipping the filters and spraying air freshener all over their crop...
Good stuff man for real.

Would kosher salt work where it’s iodine free or is the iodine required. I think I’ll foliage spray or go with a half a teaspoon cause there’s only a few with rule and lit leaves cause I don’t wanna put to much of that in the dirt. Then my ph would be way out of balance and I’d never get it fixed. It’s just these two that come off the same branch. I though about just topping it clean offf and starting two new lines but that’s losing time and effort.

IMO a tablespoon per gal is way too much despite what the internet says. I'm pretty sure you will be close to 400 ppm of mag/sul at that rate. Yikes! I'd stick to a tsp/gal max myself or better yet just measure poms.

No. Kosher salt is sodium.
