Great source of sulfur and magnesium. I spray it a couple of times during veg at a 1 tablespoon to a gallon of water.

I’ve heard it’s good used as a foliar spray, good source of sulfur in an emergency.

I run DWC and add a tablespoon in every 5 gal during every feeding during flower, other than last couple weeks. Bro science says more flavour but I don’t know.

I use coco, and that shit is a must! When I’m vegging I’ll add cal-mag but in flower I go with Epsom salts, one teaspoon per gal. along with regular feeds.

Most people don’t need it. A little doesn’t hurt anything but excessive amounts can cause issues with calcium absorption. I find it often causes as many problems as it solves.

Never have an issue with it.
So I’ll just keep chugging along, I know what works for me.
Level tablespoon in each 2 gallon

I use it all the time for my feet and then toss the used water into a bucket for my roses which EXPLODE into flowers for it… So now I’m very interested in trying it out for my outdoor grow this year during flowering. @Indoornesian , how often are you adding the 1tsp/Gallon mix to your plants?

It’s as soluble as table salt, 1 tablespoon isn’t gonna last long in a pot. I’m talking people who add it to every feed.

Are you sure it isn’t your feet that are a source of calcium and magnesium?

Well, truth be told I would be doing the same process for the devil’s lettuce… so if it’s my feet over the actual Epsom salts it’ll get them both!

I’m really curious how you apply it (the Miracle Grow). I have my father his first cannabis plant a few weeks ago and he’s just gonna use miracle grow 20-20-20 until July 1st, then 15-30-15 onwards until Sept. Then just water. Is this close? He’s just having a laugh with it and if he gets anything he’s making cookies for him and my mom.
