Organic Cal/Mag Feeding - Epsom Salts

buddhi_coopstarted grow question 3 years ago

Is it a good idea to use epsom salt with all my feeds? I’m growing organically so I’m trying to find a source for cal/mag I can use like Botanicare’s Cal Mag.

If you’re gonna use the Botanicare Cal/Mag don’t use epsom salts, it’s redundant. Over using epsom salts isn’t good either. So keep that in mind.

Are you trying to find a substitute for cal-mag? If so, epsom does not contain calcium. Why would you use epsom salt with every feeding? Do your plants need additional magnesium and sulfur with every feeding?

Foliar spray I want to introduce some epsom salt foliar spray for Penelope and two clones I have in veg at the moment. From what I understand around 200-250 PPM is a good range. What is optimal PH for foliar sprays. How often can it be used? Or what can I use as a habitual spray?

Unbalanced PH Water on Leaves I just sprayed my plants with an IPM solution but forgot to PH balance my water…I went back and drenched the leaves again with plain ph balanced water to get rid of the ph unbalanced water. Is this ok or did I make a major mistake? I took photos of the ingredients I used.

Watering a seedling Hey, I learned that when watering you need to water until there ~20% runoff but I watered little at a time during 30 minutes or so and gave about 3-4L of plain water before runoff and even if two leaves have popped I'm worried. Is this normal ?

PH measuring for Organic Growers If I’m growing organically, do I measure my PH still? I heard that the PH up & down liquid isn’t organic & that organic growers should throw away there PH meter because the soil will adjust to what ever PH level I water them with. Is this true? I’m having a cal/mag deficiency.
