If you over feed them with salts, then your weed may face nutrient lock-out. Does this help?
I've was giving them a reasonable squirt of liquid feed I got from the local growshop twice a week but then they started to yellow so I cut it back. I realise now that they were pot-bound and not just being overfed. I've stepped up the feed to about 2 tablespoons of feed (between three plants) every day/every other day and they're taking off! I just get the feeling that, if there's nothing in the pot except roots, they're probably a bit short of everything. I'll pop some Epsom salts in a couple of times a week.

Thanks very much
landi Reviewed by landi on . Epsom salts = MgSO4.7H2O?? Hi all, We live in Spain and just going in our local 'farmacia' and buying Epsom salts is not and option. We've got hold of some magnesium sulphate crystals but are not sure how much to use. The best that we've managed to get off the label is that 'pH solution of 5% = 5.95'. We don't need to to poison our babies so any advice will be gratefully received. Cheers Rating: 5
