What if he's in hydro?

Why would you ph your magnesium sulfate. How much water could you possibly need for 1 tsp?

lemmy714 · Jan 15, 2019

This is true

This is true. I only grow soil. I can't give advice if this is hydro...My apologies. However, if growing in soil, this is good advice.

Magnesium absorbs best for cannabis between 6.5 and 7.0. Since cannabis likes slightly acidic water, I ph at 6.7

Soil or hydro so you can get the appropriate advice since both of ours is technically correct.

Consider foliar spraying

Lots of folks just buy it at the drug store...but be sure you don't get a scented variety (used as bath salts)

I use a light dose 1/4 tsp/gal as a maintenance dose and up to 1 tsp/gal for full-on deficiency. Depending on symptoms...

^^ what he said. also make sure you fully dissolve it in a cup of warm water before you add it to your res. I like to put it in a water bottle with warm water, close the lid and shake it for a minute.

Just feed ferts that contain mag, most do problem solved, or not in which cade it wasnt a mag problem in the first place :-)

Or you could just mix your own and not waste all that money on water.
