espom salt?

ok im prolly gonna be called an idot but here goes..espom salt soaking solution with an eucalyptus scent fragrance (parfum) would this safe to use as my cal supplement or should i just stop being a cheap basterd and go buy some espom from the hydro shop

i wouldnt recommend it .. with the perfume in it .. plain epsom salts do add a little more sodium then you would want ... calmag or something like it is best ..

Get the epsom salts with NO perfume or anything else added from the drug or grocery store.

It is 100% identical to the horticultural stuff, just cheaper. The only difference is the packaging/price.

alright thanks i didnt think it was all that safe just wanted to see if i could save a trip to the store haha, keep tokin

I would stay away from epsom salt because you are going for magnesium and the magnesium in epsom salt cant be absorbed without calcium.

if you go with botanicare calmag you will not be disappointed. I used to do the epsom salt thing and still had lockout. Sometimes it would fix it but I was still have micro nute issues. the grass is always greener on the calmag side of the fence.trust me.

alright il check out that botanicare cal mag and see how it works thanks smokesalot

You will see a difference it took me a lot head scratching to figure it out

epsom salt does not have sodium in it
it is magnesium solfate and sold in drug stores for pennies

The cal/mag from Botanicare uses nitrates, so you get some nitrogen with it. The Botanicare product gives the same results as epsom salts, but it's not the same. However, the CaMg+ product from General Organics is calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate...otherwise known as epsom salt and common chalk. The General Organics product suspends the epsom salt (1%) and chalk (5%) in a handy molasses/sugar water solution.

apoligize for the mistake .. but still it is something you don't want to use too much of ...

hey guys i just bought some go CaMg+ it says add 1 tea spoon per gallon (5mil)..did i make a mistake cause i mixed it in with my nutes and it dropped the ph to a sharp 4 im using R/O and in soil

Just use some ph up and you will be fine .. i run about 6.3
