I'm no genius, but Epsom salt is absolutely, unequivocally, a salt

Taste it and say that

Seriously? Your metric of whether a compound is a salt is taste? That's absurd.

I agree NaCl is pretty tasty, but that has nothing to do with the fact that Epsom salt is indeed a salt

I know what happens if you put salt on the ground or plants it kills everything
Don’t ask about the water softner incident of 2018
So no it isn’t a salt
Here is a clip from the article I used for reference

You know it’s comical
If they want real proof they should sprinkle some salt on their plants and let us know how that goes

• Magnesium sulfate is an inorganic salt with the formula MgSO4(H2O)x where 0≤x≤7. It is often encountered as the heptahydrate sulfate mineral epsomite (MgSO4·7H2O), commonly called Epsom salt. The overall global annual usage in the mid-1970s of the monohydrate was 2.3 million tons, of which the majority was used in agriculture.

"Epsom salt" is a salt, in the chemical sense of the word. It's obviously not the same as "table salt".

The chemical "salts" encompass more substances than just sodium chloride.

Magnesium sulfate - Wikiwand

Magnesium sulfate or magnesium sulphate is a chemical compound, a salt with the formula MgSO4, consisting of magnesium cations Mg2+ (20.19% by mass) and sulfate...

@Markshomegrown You beat me to it.

It’s called a salt it is not a salt based on compound

I'll stick to my old Chem textbook if I need a source.

A salt is cation + an anion

A metal and an acid, e.g., Mg + H2SO4 → MgSO4 + H2

It's called a salt. It's a salt.

Maybe you should drop the issue.

Throw salt on your lawn then throw Epsom salt on another patch
One of these will wreck the soil

I suppose you believe you need to flush it before harvest too?

They're two DIFFERENT salts
I think you're conflating table salt with salts in general

This all started when a complete know nothing declared that if you don’t flush Epsom salt before harvest that your weed will taste like crap
Call it what ya want flushing it does zero to taste

 

[Flork]

In chemistry, a salt is an ionic compound which is made up of two groups of oppositely charged ions. The ion with a positive charge is called a cation, and the one with a negative charge is called an anion. How many of each type of ion the salt has is important because the compound must have an overall electrical charge of zero- that is, an equal balance between positive charge and negative charge.

Salts can be easily identified since they usually consist of positive ions from a metal with negative ions from a non metal.

So careful tasting arsenic salts.

 

[Herb & Suds]

YES!, or your buds will smell and taste horrible/harsh...and no amount of jar cure will fix it.
Salts and starches are your enemy in the end

This is my issue right here
Salts are bad but Epsom salt is a whole different animal

 

[Greenthumbgrower1986]

But will it fix my plant? Hahaha

 

[Herb & Suds]

That's why I never bother coming to this section, which is amateur hour.
Been a med cultivator for a decade now.
See ya!

Keep on flushing
Cause I can post article after article that it doesn’t effect end product
