Just wondering if I should add the Epsom to plain PHd water or my PHd nute solution. Thanks. Also is it 1/4 tsp per gal??
For all you grammar Nazis!!! Deficiency there

I had one too. I boiled 1/4 tsp epson salt in a small pot (to dissolve it & let it cool overnight) and added it to my plain ph water - i didn't give nutes. I didn't use a gallon, probably 2 liters. The spots on the leaves shrunk and the green came back to some that were yellow but some were too far gone and are going to drop. my plant only has a few more weeks left till it's done flowering so I don't care too much but i would like to keep her healthy.

I started flowering my moms on march 1st so I'm in my 4th week of flowering. It's not bad yet but I want to fix the problem before it gets too bad. Only slight discoloration but alot of the feeder leaves have white bleached spots going around the edges of each finger so I assumed mag def.

I tried adding it to regular water without boiling and it didn't dissolve. I would definitely recommend bioling some epsom salt in water and letting it cool & then adding to your gallon of water.

i use epsom salt quite a bit with mine and i never had a problem with it disolving. but id deffinately put it in just the plain ph'd water tho cause ive noticed it does raise the ppm and ph a bit and ive also read about people using just this as food for them so ya dont wanna over feed em. thats just my oppinion anyway, good luck on your grow tho!
