Epsom Salt Question and Concern

Hey guys,I started mixing 1 teaspoon of Epsom salt per gallon of water for my 2 week old plants... and some of them wilted and died very quickly...Is it the Epsom salt that is killing my cannabis? I read on many sites that this would help the plants. This is the only thing I have changed within the past 4 days and I have had 4 casualties... So my question is "How to use the Epsom salt and should I use it and if I used too much or what????????" Also I have been using this mixture for everyday watering once daily

PS. MY PLANTS ARE ONLY ABOUT 2 WEEKS OLD, SHOULD I JUST USE WATER, SUN LIGHT, FAN, AS NORMAL??

sounds like over watering make sure the soil is dry before watering

I would say stop doing that. ;-) I suspect the once daily waterings may be too much. I'd back off the watering schedule and remove the Epsom salt until the plant is past the seedling phase and add it back only if you have too.

thanks ganja, this is exactly what i was thinking ....Now I read somewhere to use Epsom only if I see yellow color...which is a result to lack of nutrients .my plants were very green....well you live an you learn....I guess.........
