Epsom salt On a budget

Is adding a little ok? Or just wait. Or not at all?

How do you feel about it? @BobbyDigital I did read your post. I don’t want to kill them. I thought if I gave a lot bit it might not be a problem.

No it’s just part A, cal nitrate and epsom salt. It’s very tweekable. Seeing too much nitrogen, ease off the cal nitrate. Need more magnesium, up the epsom salt dose. Haven’t had to adjust part A at all yet.

I’m sorry, I missed it. How do I feel about what?

Epson salt as a magnesium supplement. I just remember adding great white every now and then

I use it religiously. It’s just magnesium and sulphur. I rarely run into calcium issues so epsom salt is a great way to give them magnesium without the added nitrogen that calmag typically has

I’m not having a problem with that I’m just curious if I add a little bit would it not cause a problem because I’m in my almost full third week of flowering and I butchered them the other night and didn’t leave any lower leaves just got me kind of nervous

Sure you could add it in but if you’re not seeing any magnesium issues then there no real reason to add anything. I’ve always used it because fox farms nutrients are light in magnesium. Now with using jacks it’s part of the solution

Should be fine. Ill take a pic of my cherry pie. Just leaf stripped and watered last night with Epsom. She is a heavy mag addict. Could be from the light intensity. But she is naked except for the top 2 fan leaf.

I hit two of them pretty hard one I didn’t do so much too. The others I really didn’t mess with.

I will be removing the bamboo. I’ve read where they give all of mold.

I have a few yellow tips. Nothing I’m worried about. Organic stuff is kicking right now.

That’s what I’m worried about. I use Neptune. It has small amounts in it. I’m not seeing large amounts of magnesium and some of my other products. I use bonemeal. It has plenty of potassium and calcium in it but no magnesium

@BobbyDigital do you have any feed back on fox farm open sesame or beastie bloom? Starting flower and I have cha-ching. Really liked what it did for the bud development on my last grow. Out of the 2 (OS or BB) would you recommend for achieving max return with bud growth/density. T.i.a

Lol. That’s what i’ll do sometimes. I’m more of a sativa grower. I have realized. I will finish these run. Then no more of the bags of seeds for me. I can get clones but why pay for someone else. We don’t have a family of growers here.

I have that same question. I’ll see the starter kit and I wonder about it.

I used all three in their respective weeks. Open sesame for a few weeks, beastie blooms for a few weeks and chaching in the final weeks. I used them with Jack’s on one plant last grow and not in the other and didn’t notice a difference so I won’t be adding them in on this grow but I could tell the difference between plants I only used the trio on and the ones I used the trio and the boosters.

I ran Jacks only on my last run with no issues at all. I’ve got my brother in law using it on his first successful grow. Couldn’t be easier.

I am using Tribus and fulvic acid this grow but it isn’t ā€œneededā€

Not sure why anyone would think it’s complicated

I don’t know anything about it I have just read what you guys say here about it. I will be getting it. I see it comes in 3 parts also. Is that correct. Or just the one bag
