I haven’t been feeding them anything yet as, I was thinking of doing a light epsom water...
I would then I would start your feeding regiment. Epsom is the wonder medicine for plants it really helps with so much.
Possibly the ffof is so inconsistent it’s big business pushing product to keep the shelves full. Do you do any amendments or use liquid nutes. I would try the Epsom salt and next watering start my food at 1/4 strength.
yeah I usually top dress and the occasional compost/dry amendment tea
just a few leaves
If you're using well water have you had it tested? Chances are you have more than adequate amounts of magnesium. Adding more could actually be detrimental. But without a water quality analysis there's no way to know what's in your water.
Yeah I think you’re right, I can see white minerals floating around when I pour a glass from the sink...I was actually using bottled spring water until about a week ago and they seemed to be doing just fine then..
If you're on well water you should get it tested regularly if you're using it for drinking and cooking as there could be bacteria and heavy metals in it. You should be able to call your health department for a list of labs that can test it for you or you can search for one yourself in your area. Knowing what's in your water is good information to have. I'm on a municipal water system and they post the results online but well users will need to get their own tests done.
