just bought some epsome salts for my plants - how to use?

[*mistress*]

thanks for the reply...
i've got HESI ferts
vegg- 6+2+4
flowering 4+3+5
and steel the plants suffer from mg def
so only if honey or tea has high mg value it will be efficient
fucked up shit ! i growed with them about 2 years ago and didn't have these problems.

?...

w/ a full nute line fed, may not be a mg deficiency... what are the symptoms? the media? the ph of run-off? the humidity?

Can't check pH? Are you saying there's not a single aquarium store in your entire country? A simple test drop kit is all you need. pH determines what the plant does and doesn't eat. Chances are you have all the Mag you need but, are locking it out with bad pH. Epsom Salts may fix your symptoms but will NOT cure the problem. Proper pH control will.

Epsom Salts are Magnesium Sulfate, MgSO4 Look for it in the pharmacy section, not bath.

we have aquarium shops but not in my city
any way my budget for this grow has run out i am broke lol
and even if i check the p.h and its wrong
how can i fix this?

here a tread of mien with pics of my plants : http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=141902

btw what is runoff ?? humidity - unknown

Runoff is the excess water that runs out after watering. You catch it and test it and it helps determine the ph and the problem.

too difficult to diagnose w/ those pics... could be over-watering, could be mg deficiency... would pull those dead/dying lower yellow leaves, but some say never take fan leaves... they dont seem to ever fully recover from such sickness...

they are not looking that bad... maybe relaxing a little & just letting this plant finish out would be good... cant undo weeks of damage in a few days...

would start researching now in prep for next run...

enjoy your garden!

the strips are like 3 dollars

they will have ph up and down which is very cheap as well


your plants dont look that bad

have you flushed them? maybe you are just feeding too much
also are they rootbound? this is what it looks like to me

Go to the next town. A test kit will cost as much as a couple of beers. pH Down cost's about as much as a single pizza. Go one night without pizza and beer and you're covered. Until you get pH under control, you're screwed.

Sounds like you got problems already. I use fish tank drip kit and it works fine for me because I ALWAYS check it. You are doomed if you do not.

 

[wonnagogreen]

thats true you always need good ph control no matter what

You could tell the pharmacist that your grandmother wants a dose of salts. He will know what that means.
