Depends on what nutrients you are using.  Do you have deficiencies ? I am using General Hydroponics nutrients and dont need to use any.

| I usually add 1 tsp of Epsom Salts per gallon of RO water. For Cal MAg, use 1-2 tsp per gallon - I read that off of the back of the Cal Mag bottle.

| Depends also on the hardness of the water you're using. My tap water is 400 and something ppm, alot of which is calcium. Calcium locks out the magnesium hence the need for epsom salts (foliar normally.) | ||

| I am using GH 3 part series and I am showing signs of Mag def. Praying leaves and discoloration of veins. Leaves have been a bit dry and brittle. But no growth hindered, as far as I can tell! Thank you for the quick responses. | ||
