Hey Lil' ze been to the city of God lately lol (if ya don't get that then I guess ya didn't grab your name from the movie) but I think it would be best ta only give a bit of E. salt once in awhile. Ya don't want 2 over do it dude.
Peace

quarter teaspoon is light, but you dont need this all the time if your not running RO water - you can do this all through veg and into flower until you flush, IF your plants need it...

I dont give mine epsom unless they are showing signs of mag deficiency. Am I wrong?

Well, you can screw up Potassium uptake by adding too much calcium and/or Mg to your nute solution, But I know some of my strains gobble up Mg and sulphur, so I always add a light dose. They haven't shown any signs of deficiency since I figured out what they needed.

Nope - you are quite correct!

if you use RO water you should use epsom salts or a cal mag type product every other water - why wait til there is a deficiency to give your plant something it needs?
