Epsom Salt

I started a seed a few weeks back. Some of the leaves started to turn yellow. I looked and saw that it was a magnesium defency. I gave it two watering with one table spoon epsom salt per gallon.

The plant has been doing fine since them. But I am wondering if I should dose it every few weeks? Or should I wait till I see the leaves start to turn again? Or should one dose do it?

I only had one seed so I will be keeping this plant for a mother. If it is not a male.

I will be taking a clone soon. Should I mix a little epsom salt In the soil before I plant it?

Thanks

" * Houseplants: 2 tablespoons per gallon of water; feed plants monthly.
* Tomatoes: 1 tablespoon per foot of plant height per plant; apply every two weeks.
* Roses: 1 tablespoon per foot of plant height per plant; apply every two weeks. Also scratch 1/2 cup into soil at base to encourage flowering canes and healthy new basal cane growth. Soak unplanted bushes in 1/2 cup of Epsom Salt per gallon of water to help roots recover. Add a tablespoon of Epsom Salt to each hole at planting time. Spray with Epsom Salt solution weekly to discourage pests.
* Shrubs (evergreens, azaleas, rhododendron): 1 tablespoon per 9 square feet. Apply over root zone every 2-4 weeks.
* Lawns: Apply 3 pounds for every 1,250 square feet with a spreader, or dilute in water and apply with a sprayer.
* Trees: Apply 2 tablespoons per 9 square feet. Apply over the root zone 3 times annually.
* Garden Startup: Sprinkle 1 cup per 100 square feet. Mix into soil before planting.
* Sage: Do not apply! This herb is one of the few plants that doesn't like Epsom Salt."

The bold sections should hold true to cannabis gardening too!

It is always better to do less than to do too much.
