Epsom salts works for a magnesium or sulfur deficiency. Flushing is a remedy for nute lock. Your pH could be off also. Check the pH of your growing medium/nute solution and if it's o.k. you may want to flush. Best of luck my friend. bongsmilie

p.s. check the water you use. Is it tapwater, distilled, or r/o? If you are using tapwater you may have hard water. That can also lock up nutes.

The ph is not a good indicator of how hard your water is. In order to determine that you need to find the PPM of the dissolved solids in the tap water. If you don't have a EC/PPM meter a lot of grow shops offer water testing. Take them a sample they should be able to tell you how 'hard' your water is. Again Ph is NOT a good indicator of hardness (although it will rise due to calcium and other ions in the water)

Hard is a terminology used for water that has to many salts (*)
Basically what is measured is the HCO3+ in the water
Ph Has almost nothing to do with how much *hard* it is
If u water with tap water 7 - 7.5 u should be ok IF!
Ur soil is acidic . Acidic soils are those meant for several plants like gardenias .
A ph around 6 is perfect for mj .
I dont know what most ppl do but if u adjust with vinegar 7.5 is slightly alkaline so adding an acid will result to salt creation as an effect of acid - alkaline elimination
Also do u measure when u feed? Some fertilizers could make ur dilution extremely acidic
