Epsom salt as fertilizer. Whats your take on this folks?
Stonehighstarted grow question 2 years ago
Epsom salt will not release hydrogen ions in water so my guess is that it will thus not affect PH. Making it a nice controllable source of Mg that would be not negligible right? How effective would that be to treat Mg deficiencies? Anyone has experience with this?

Epsom salts can work very well - but if you have a magnesium deficiency, it's best to first figure out WHY you've got one... and that is usually linked to a pH issue. All nute lines will have sufficient magnesium in their components for the various stages so there's some reason, if you've got the deficiency, why your plant isn't able to take it up.. start there... if the pH is out of whack, you can give your plant all the magnesium in the world and it won't be able to access it.
good luck!

Epsom salts is magnesium sulphate and as long as it is not perfumed/scented, it will be ok to use on your plants.

Strange discolorationThe plant is becoming less green, more yellow, dark green/blue, and the tip seems necrotic. She received a little more light intensity (TS1000 at 50cm, 25%dim to 50%dim) when she was repotted on the final DWC. T.A. (Growing on FeedChart) was used to create the nutrient solution.

Magnesium deficiency? How to cure it?Is this a sign of magnesium deficiency (my other plant has similar spots)? If so, I've read online (on the Canna nutes website) that I should spray the leaves with Epsom Salt (2% solution): is this correct? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance
