Always add a wetting agent, surfactant!

Same, I use it for the sulphur. I try to get a few different sources of S in there.I use about 1 tsp per 5 gal so about 1g per gal like @Dirtbag last few weeks of flower. Not for the magnesium but for the sulfur
This answer nudged me to finally set up an account here. I dig your style. Do you ph and/or use a surfactant or just rock a gram/gallon?I use Epsom salt religiously. Clones all the way through flower. It's my Mg/S source.
1g of Epsom per gallon yields:

How often? Once a week foliar?I use about 1 tsp per 5 gal so about 1g per gal like @Dirtbag last few weeks of flower. Not for the magnesium but for the sulfur
I use pure crop 1 as a foliar 5 mins before lights out. I’m gonna add epsom salt to my IPM solution.Ive been thinking of using Epsom Salt as a foliar spray between watering as well.
Do you spray when your lights are off? I would think spraying during the light cycle would burn, no?
I use Epsom salts in my resivoir for the last 2/3 of flowering.
Last 2 or 3 of flowering , only with 1g/gallon of Epsom salts in Res?I use Epsom salts in my resivoir for the last 2/3 of flowering.
I’m growing organic and came upon this and plan on using it as a foliar the last few weeks of flower. How often do you foliar feed with epsom salt?I've put it in the water for soil. I've sprayed it on leaves. And I've mixed it into my DWC water. It's all fine
I only did once. I have hard water. And with the size of my sprayer droplets it left hard water stains. So I stopped. With soil or promix I toss some in the a couple times during early flowering. With my DWC buckets I toss in 5 grams with the rest of the food in flower. I wouldn't foliar spray buds. Only until about week 3. Then stop spraying.I’m growing organic and came upon this and plan on using it as a foliar the last few weeks of flower. How often do you foliar feed with epsom salt?

Epsom is completely chemical, man. Blows your organic out of the water immediately.I’m growing organic and came upon this and plan on using it as a foliar the last few weeks of flower. How often do you foliar feed with epsom salt?
Chemical or do you mean salt form? You do know a plant doesn't take up organics right?Epsom is completely chemical, man. Blows your organic out of the water immediately.
You can use magnesium sulpahte and still get the organic certified label.Epsom is completely chemical, man. Blows your organic out of the water immediately.
You should search up my old posts.Chemical or do you mean salt form? You do know a plant doesn't take up organics right?
Then to close to pull buds will taste like matchesI use about 1 tsp per 5 gal so about 1g per gal like @Dirtbag last few weeks of flower. Not for the magnesium but for the sulfur
I dont use it for the mag... i use 1 g per gal for the mag in veg only because of my base nutes. 2 gram per gal in flower for the added sulfur while keeping mag in a decent ratio.I only used it when I did niski nap grow wool when it was in winter and they had the rose look which they called black spot and used it as feed additive to nutes
Ok so I got the epsom salt and would like to start applying some. I noticed you said use it the last few weeks of flower? I thought the last 2 weeks was the time to use only water to let the plant use up the remaining nutrients. I’ve found some conflicting things online but when I see you or some other well respected grower talk about techniques like this I pay attention. I’m almost done with week 4 of flower so figured it would be a good time to start for the added sulfur my plants can use. I’ve came this far I don’t wanna mess up now…I dont use it for the mag... i use 1 g per gal for the mag in veg only because of my base nutes. 2 gram per gal in flower for the added sulfur while keeping mag in a decent ratio.
