Hi, quick noob question. Is it possible for a single pinch of epsom salts in a gallon of what I usually feed to cause lockout? I am wondering because I have 1 plant out of three genetically identical ones that started showing calcium deficiency only the week after I added a pinch (~1/4 tsp?) of epsom. I didn't do it again and it got better. Sometime later I figured it wasn't related and tried again, and the deficiency came back worse.
Why I think the epsom salts are unrelated is that it is only 2 feedings, and it is only 1 plant out of 3. I am feeding about 100ppm ca and 40 ppm mg before the pinch of epsom salts, and my water is usually between 140 and 180 ppm hardness.
