EPSOM Salt Question

Discussion in 'Plant Problems: Pests, Disease & Deficiencies' started by Whodi, Nov 7, 2006.

    A couple of my plants are starting to show a mag. deficiency. Should I only give these plants some EPSOM salt, or go ahead and give all of my plants a dose of it? And is it okay to mix it with my ferts, or should I just give it straight water and EPSOM?

    soil grow
    tiger bloom nutes
    day 18 flower

    i stay away form combining to many things when trying to combat a nutrient problem, and if it's not broken don't fix it. mixing some epsom salt with ph balanced h20 would be your safest bet. it will help if magnesium is the problem. good luck;)

    Yeah, the top of my plants is turning a slight lime green.

    forget about the epsom salt. although. 1 teaspoon per gallon (pre-dissolved in warm water) is the fix for a mag. def. what you're seeing on your plant, is something else. your plant is not photosynthesizing quick enough for the growth. it's normal for growth tips to look lime green. in a couple days the chlorophyl will reach the lime green tips. if there was a problem, it would start on the bottom bigger leaves and work it's way up.

    So what do i do? I thought if the lower leaves are yellow and work it's way up is a nitrogen def. Mines just the top few leaves. No burns or anything. Just lime green.

    MJ wants more Mg than most plants, so the soil & fert companies dont address this issue.

    you cant hurt your plants by adding 1 tabl spoon of MgSO4, they actually can use 1 treatment while vegging & another just before flowering. 1/2 tabl spoon per gallon of soil is part of my mix, and I dont experience these issues

    another nute (the forgotten nute) is in epsom salts, sulphur 13%

    your best approach if your having a problem is to post a pic:rolleyes:

    NPK nutrients start at the bottom of a plant.
    Micronutrient deficiencies start at top of plants.

    Just give em MgSo4 and water.

    Well i'm 19 days into flowering now. Are you saying it's too late for me to use it?
