From a garden web article:
A little over 2 years ago I asked Dr Elaine Ingham the following question, "What is the effect of magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts), used to adjust the salt balance in their soil or simply to add magnesium, on the beneficial microbes in the soil or compost tea?" She answered as follows:

Concentration is the major factor here. Small amounts [of magnesium sulfate] are fungistatic (meaning they inhibit growth of fungi), and with time, fungi recover. Higher amounts clearly kill beneficial fungi. Testing has been limited [in determining] the precise threshold of negative impact.

It's because I have a cover that goes over them in the evening's to block the sun (light deprivation) so it induces flowering early instead of waiting till the end of Sept. or the first of Oct. You are on course in my opinion.... patience .

So they will bush out in the next month or so before they start to flower what are you going to do with all that pollen an when will they start to show sex right before flowering

In your area they should be throwing pistils around the first of Aug. and males will show up to two weeks earlier then the females...about mid July start watching your nodes , they'll stop being sermetrical and grow in a zig zag fashion this means flowering is about to begin and you can determine sex . I guess the pollen will go with the wind lol
