i use the epsom salt for magnesium and sulfur. thing is though, i started using the salts well after the problem began. i thought that it looked alot like magnesium deficiency. 1/4 tablespoon per a gallon is what ive typically seen as a recommended concentration for mg deficiency, so im just going by them. so the general consensus is that im over feeding then? and no, no ozone generator.

flush the plant out..run it under running water for like 10 mins to flush out some of that salt...doesnt the plants root naturally make salt? i remember seeing that on the ready-set-grow dvd set..plants gonna die if the roots cant absorb any nutes bcuz of the salt build up...

You don't say what you're using for a soil mix. Here's a good one for next time:

2 parts Shultz's Potting Soil Plus.

1 part Perlite.

1 part Vermeculite.

1 part Worm Castings.

Add one SMALL handful of Granulated Dolimite Lime per each two gallons of soil mix.

You should be able to get everything listed above from your local nursery.

For fertilizers use:

Vegging: Peter's "Jack's Classic" 20-20-20.
Flowering: Peter's "Jack's Classic Blossom Booster" 10-30-20.

Here's where to order the fertilizers via mail: http://www.jacksclassic.com/

Good luck ...
