Epsom Salt Questions

[db2]

If they were mine I would do every other watering. Good thing to invest in is calmag or something along the sorts but epsom salt should work just fine

Cool, thanks. I will water them with a tsp today and see if it helps. Any idea how long it should take to see improvement?

I will try and get some pics up soon so stay tuned please.

Also, is it okay to mix them in the same gallon of distilled water with my fox farm nutes?

yes, I just buy distilled water from the store

ok then it IS most likely a magnesium def, that type of water EVERYTHING is taken out just like RO water. Now i'm leaning toward that, that's your problem.
That is fine to use it with distilled, is your tap water fucked up?

No, I just heard that using tap wasn't good. Was I told wrong?

Depends on your tap water, most people use it wo problems. I use ro water because my tap water is around 300 ppm. But most likely it wouldn't hurt at all

Should I put the epsom salt into the water a certain amount of time to dilute it before watering?

 

[max316420]

I would probably dissolve it in warm water first

 

[db2]

Do you think the leaves with yellow on it will green up or will it just show in the newer leaves?

 

[max316420]

depends on how bad they are... try your damn'dist to get some pics up that will help people in trying to figure what's goin on with them

Theres the LSD

o shit dude those aren't that bad, possibly a tad overwatered looking but not sure. I see a slight mag def on the edges but nothing major. From now on if your gonna use that water then def get some type of supplement, I don't know for sure but i'm thinking that you don't wanna consistantly use es due to the fact that salts will build up in you soil quite quickly. But they are lookin good. I just planted a lsd and mk ultra seed. How long did it take to pop?

ummm not sure, i'd say 3-4 days. But one more question about the salt. How much and when would you use epsom salt if u were in my situation?

Add 1 ts per gallon of water and use it every other watering till new growth doesn't show any of those signs anymore. It will probably clear up after the first or second time you use the es

I was watching the thread waiting for photos to see if it resembles one of my two LSD scrogs.

I have two grows and one seems to be very sensitive to nutes and has a definite deficiency - but I just ignore it and carry on with my feeding/watering and it seems to be coping.

Same feeding for both plants and one simply doesn't like it.

Seeing your photos and it is looking like the plant that I have that is not suffering, but it does have a slight genetic fault that makes some leaves lacking colour (variagated). As they lack chlorophyl that part of the leaf doesn't grow as fast and ends up distorting the leaf slightly.

Looking at your photos it looks like the leaves are deformed as they emerge, could be a genetic flaw or could be a virus - it may be related to nutrients but you shouldn't assume it is ... you can cause more harm trying to adjust the nutes to fix what can't be fixed.

I haven't answered your question, just given you another possibility to consider.

Unless you are grossly abusing your plants they should (and generally do) get over their initial teething problems and turn out healthy and productive - if you try too hard to fix something that really isn't a great problem, the result is often worse than waiting and watching.

Here are a couple of pikkies of my current LSD ScrOGs with a close-up of the leaves of both plants.

The first 2 photos are the genetic problem and the last 2 show some nute lock-out/deficiency ... the first can't be fixed and the second seems to fix itself.

Cool, great info man. Hopefully I can get these leaves going a little better. n hope this lsd is as good as said haha
