I have a progressing mg deficiency and have decided to try to correct it with Epsom salt rather than cal/mag. If I do spray my plants with this Epsom salt mixture, do I have to flush afterwards??​

You never have to flush period,and yes epsom salt is an excellent foliar.Make sure you get the underside of the leaves too.

Sure np...and dont forget the underside.Raise your light before you spray but dont turn it off,you need the stomata under the leaves to be open.
