Hello i tried today Epsom salts for first time up to now always calmag.
It is 6week of flower so i tried to cut down calmag and use just epsom salts with Plagron Terra Bloom and Green sensation .
Instruction on package was like 8-20g for liter of water i gave 11-12g for 3litres in addition of 7,5ml terra bloom and 3ml GS.
But as i searched more on epsom salts everyone is using like 1teaspoon or so.
Could i have damaged my plants by adding this amount together with nutes ? i did not checked EC but definitely it could be over 2,5

One application at that concentration shouldnt be too detrimental just be more precise next time before delving deep into it.

personally I use additional MgSO4 during flower at 0.1EC once a week.

If you're giving a proper nutrient, why the need for the epsom? I've switched to using only "grow" nutes start to finish in soil...no issues in flower.

I use Epsom Salts and I usually give one 5ml spoon full per 5L. That sounds like quite a lot to me. I just use regular tomato feed and mix it in with that once a week. I am considering adding a little Calcium Chloride at the same frequency as the Epsom Salts. My last run was the first I have done under my new TS1000s and a couple of the plants showed signs of calcium def in the later weeks.

Aren’t those printed directions for human use when soaking in Epsom salts? I’d stick with one gram per gallon for plants.
