$9.40$28.00

Magnesium sulfate, commonly known as Epsom salt, is a valuable nutrient for hydroponic systems.  When used appropriately, it offers several key benefits that contribute to the health and vigor of hydroponically grown plants.

  • Cost-effective and easy-to-use
  • 100% water soluble
  • An essential macronutrient required for photosynthesis, enzyme activation, and overall plant health
  • Improves photosynthetic efficiency and increases chlorophyll production for more robust growth
  • Improves the quality and flavour of many herbs as well as fruiting crops such as tomatoes and peppers
  • Helps ensure proper stomata function for efficient nutrient absorption and a balanced nutrient profile within the plants
  • Helps plants cope with environmental stressors such as large temperatures changes and nutrient imbalances
  • Creates a nutrient rich solution that contains all the macro and micro nutrients for your plants to thrive when used with Masterblend (4-18-38) and Calcium Nitrate (15.5-0-0) (sold separately)

IMPORTANT: Always test your water and determine the lack of nutrients prior to treatment!

Magnesium deficiency is a common problem in hydroponic systems, particularly when using soft water or water sources with low magnesium content. Signs of magnesium deficiency include yellowing of older leaves, interveinal chlorosis, and poor plant growth. By regularly incorporating magnesium sulfate into your nutrient solution, you can prevent these issues and maintain optimal plant health.
