I figured out I have a mag deficiency and solved the ph and nutrients. I also got epsom salt as a spray my question is what ph should I make the spray? Does it matter?

Just mix it with tap water. No need to pH. Don't do it under direct light.

Are you sure you have a Mg deficiency and not nutrient antagonism hindering the uptake of Mg due to too much of something else?

I’m using house and garden full line of nutrients for coco and ro water with calmag added to that. I obv don’t know for sure if that’s the case but they are still growing great other then some stripping on the leaves between the veins. The guy at the grow store said it could be due to not mixing nutrients daily and keeping them in clear 1 gallon jugs for a few days. So I’m starting to mix daily and will give a foliage spray until I can figure it out.

Adding more things that they don't need will only exasperate your issues.

There is plenty of Mg in the House and Garden base nutrients and you're adding calmag. I don't see how you could have a lack of Mg in your nutrients even using the RO water.

I’m using Calmag because I’m using ro water to buffer the water. From my understanding this was a must and that you would have bad ph swings with just adding nutrients to ro water

See I thought that to then got conflicted information about them being underfed. That’s kinda the problem hear although a great informative forum you will get 5 different answers to what worked for one person to the next.
