Epsom salt as fertilizer. Whats your take on this folks?
Stonehighstarted grow question 4y 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.

Deficiencies while in late flowering during flushing periodThere is deficiency going on (looks like cal) she is an auto flowering strain in her 9th week and been flushed for a week now. Should I give her cal/mag and stop the flushing or is it too late to deal with that? She looks like she will be ready to chop in a week or so.

Help needed - harvest time?Hi, I'm now in week 12 and I feel that after the flush my 2 vertigo stopped developing. They also have a lot of leaves with some mag issues. Not all the pistols are amber (70%). Also, the trichomes are not all cloudy. I'm not sure but I think I don't see changes anymore.

WaterIs it bad to make my water ahead of time ? I mixed my nutrients (big bud, formulex, bud candy & molasses) in with the water & have let it sit out for over a day. I heard letting it sit out gets the chlorine out (I put a towel over it though so my cat/other stuff would get in it)

What affect does a higher PH level have?Somehow I have been reading my ph meter backwards and have ran 2 Blue Dream Fem at a 7.5 ph level the entire grow cycle. The plants are doing well and look great in week 11. How will this higher ph level affect the end product? Will it affect the taste, smell, or potency? ThanksFeeding. Deficiencies
