quick question about epsom salts.

hi guys
when using epsom salts i was told to use in the third week of flower and to mix 2 teaspoons into a gallon of water, boiling it in a cup first.
just need to know though how much of this treated water should be given to each plant. 1 watering and if so what is the max of it that should be given. 550ml-1000ml?
thanks

good question....please some one explain

The disolved "Epsom Salts" is suspended in the water - it doesn't "filter out" into the soil, so to speak. You just water normally, to the "saturation point", and that's all the Epsom Salts/Water that it will hold. If you try to add more- it will just drain through, like "overflow".

As the solution is taken up by the roots, most of it is left behind in the soil (much like any organic nutrient) and evaporates out into tiny chrystals. Then, when you water again, some of these tiny chrystals partially disolve to give repetitive doses.
