IDK but it works great for my peppers. I think I used 1tsp/galI am growing with biotabs dry amendments in coco. I am following the biotabs just add tap water guide at this link.
https://biotabs.nl/pdfs/organic-growing-manual-en.pdf
I use tap water that I put ascorbic acid vitamin c powder in to remove the chloramine in the water. I keep having what looks like magnesium deficiency in plants. I am not posting images of the plants in this post or asking about why the plants have problems I am only asking about epsom salt and how best to use it. I do not use calmag as the dry amendments in the biotabs are supposed to have what it needs for that. I have some epsom salt and I have tried doing foliar feeding a few times and it does not look like it is really working. I have looked online and it looks like most of the pages talking about using epsom salt for magnesium deficiency talks about spraying it but I would like to know if you can put it in the water you use when you water the plants on there.
I have 2 plants on day 22 that I water with only water and I give each like 1 half liter to 1 liter per day per plant. Would you recommend putting epsom salt in the water like 1 time per week or do you think foliar is better and how often would you foliar feed it to clear up magnesium deficiency on there?
I don't use soap.Thanks. When you do a foliar spray do you do only epsom salt and water or do you put soap in the bottle on there?
I go light, I use about half a gram per gallon in DTW coco/hydro setup. But my feed rates are extremely low overall.Thanks. How much do you use per liter of water on there?
One level tablespoon per gallon of water is a safe ratio for foliar applicationI use Epsom salts in my resivoir for the last 2/3 of flowering.

Yes I made certain I mentioned for *foliar application; I use it at this ratio and never have a problem, I spray it two days in a row if I see an early magnesium deficiency, it's fixed it on every occasionPerhaps for foliar, but still seems a bit high?. Its way too much for nutrient solution though.
Epsom salt is about 25 grams per tablespoon, and its 9.8%Mg and 13% sulphur.
Punched into a nutrient calculator it looks like this. That's crazy high ppm.View attachment 984695
