epsom salts

so i feed my plant epsom salts 1 table spoon to 3 gal water 3 days later i had tip burn plants in full flower at the time

so is that too much epsom salts for the amount of water

i only use half strength nutes when i feed

while in flower i feed every 3 days then one day water then 3 feed ect

i added the epsom salts on the water day then went back to my 3 days feed ect

should i not feed nutes the next day after epsom salts or is 1 table spoon to 3 gal over kill

Are you sure it was Epsom salt you gave them?

I think you meant to use 1/4 teaspoon per gallon

i might smoke allot but i know what eposns is haha hmm like i thought too much

You should be using an EC pen.

Use an EC meter.

It sounds like you're in soilless hydro? What's the substrate?

ALWAYS measure dry nutrients by weight, not volume.

1-2 grams per gallon should be sufficient as continuous feed. For occasional feeding, 5g per gallon is okay.

i use a tds meter but saying the feeding way around 800 ppm is pointless due to the fact i dont know the scale.
EC meter is something ill be investing in later

TDS meter is the same thing as an EC meter.

EC is one scale of measurement, just like ppm.
