[maspino1]

So I realize after neutralizing my water ph for my coco medium that
i still need to figure out how much Epsom salt to add to balance out
any lockouts of magnesium

please anyone who knows, let me know, it's important since i just planted
a new seed and i want to control all aspects of the soil
and those who have seen my led grow so far, NO LEDs! lol

I would not ever, under ANY circumstances, add Epsom salts to my nute solution because of the chance of locking out OTHER nutes. If you are running in correct conditions, there is PLENTY of Mg available in all quality complete fertilizers- unless it is locked out by pH or overfert.

For a quick fix, mix a couple pinches of Epsom salts in a spray bottle of lukewarm water with one drop of liquid dish soap, shake, and mist onto your plants daily until you see greening between the veins.

I assume you HAVE correctly identified that you have Mg deficiency symptoms?

Stinky: Are you saying that the spraying will turn leaves green again? I thought that any damage was permanent and you could only help the leaves not showing damage yet. Maybe I'm confused or not thinking straight. ?????????
