That will work but drop the use to 1/8 tsp per gallon! The 1/4 is for 50% K2SO4 and you have 99%....

This is the common 50% stuff.....$9 bucks for 5 pounds...You spend more to ship it.

If that link didn't work = Amazon and type in Potassium Sulfate in the house and garden section...

this is all I could find. None of the grow shops had actually what you said so I followed instructions on back. Would you still recommend 1/4 tsp per gallon ?

That's not K sulfate....
That's plain K.....they made it from K sulfate...

Boil 8 TBL of Epsom and 1.5 tsp of dark brown sugar. In 1 quart of RO till dissolved.
Mix that with 3 more quarts of RO and store in an opaque gallon jug.

First 4 weeks of bloom - 10ml of that juice with a gallon of water and 1/8 tsp of the K.
from week 4 on - 20 ml per gallon and 1/4 tsp of the K in a gallon of feed.

OR

just get K sulfate from Amazon

Wow this is great info and I really want to thank you for taking time out of your day to share your knowledge with me on here. Dr. Who this just made my day. I'm starving for all the info I can get and some stuff is just not on the internet. I ordered the K sulfate off Amazon and should have next week

K2SO4
Potassium Sulfate ASAP.....every feeding - 1/4 tsp of the powder per gallon.

Thanks for all of your info, I have read a pile of yours posts, Citrus Feed on order, just need to order my K Sulfate to go with it. Sounds too easy!

You can use mpk and raise epsom ppm for similar effect?.

I would for soil.....In hydro,, I would halve my amounts per for starters

I want the extra K in bloom for several things.
The Epsom ups the S to where the K2SO4 would have been.
The extra Mg has some terp profile effects too....
