RO = reverse osmosis.
MgSO4 will chemically combine with nitrogen at a ph under 5.8. I use no more then 10ppm of the stuff. I did a test with epsom salt and added like a half cup to a one gallon pot. It grew well for a month about with no signs of stress. Then it began to yellow slightly but not bad. Once I transplanted her into a two gallon pot she came back to normal. Mg lock up is hard to get and deficencies are rarely seen as it is a microelement. MgSO4 will stay in your soil for a while increasing the ion content. Hard water limits the nutes your baby can uptake which is why some growers use under 100ppm every two to three days.

karmaxul Reviewed by karmaxul on . epsom salt? for low magnesium I believe I have a magnesium deffiency,the leaves on my plany mostly the fan leaves as well as other new growth have turned almost a yellow!.... I grow with sultz potting soil/mixed with half perlite my PH is around 6.8 I don't believe it's a lack of N simply because I am only one week into flowering and up to this point all the plants were really a nice forest green! which could only mean lots of N now several of the plants have yellow leaves,I should also add I don't believe the fan Rating: 5
