Magnesium deficiency. How do you correct in hydro.

I am growing MJ's in a 10 gallon Aquamist. I have some plants with yellowing around the edge of the leaves. I think it is magnesium deficiency. How do you correct this deficiency in hydro using Epsom Salts.

High nute ppm (> 1200) and pH (> 5.8 ) will lock out nutes, but it looks like a deficiency- yellowing/dieing leaves.

I shot myself in the foot last week. Evaporation and water consumption lead to significant increase in rez ppm/pH. Basically I burned my plant, killing most of the primary leaves, melting the trics and burning the pistils. I'm nursing her back now. Flushed and reduced ppm to < 700

Thanks PetFlora.

I think my problem is what u stated above. My meter reading in the AquaMist rez is PPM-1220 and PH 6.1. So it is not a magnesium deficiency. I will flush and use a simple nute formula stated in the
DVD "See More Buds" (3-Micro, 1 - Grow, .5- Bloom.) Keeping it simple. I added other nutes to the GH 3 part formula that carried the PPMs up.

Question: Any foliage spray needed.?
