Epsom Salt by White Mountain

[jlacosta]

Was just wondering if anyone uses this brand. Not sure if this is safe for plants since it says it's used for bathing or that isn't an issue? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

That's the brand I used this year, with good results.  As long as it contains only magnesium sulfate, with no added ingredients like fragrance or coloring, you should be fine.

+1 to Sawyer's comment above.
What I found from a quick googling says it's 100% epsom salts - if true its fine.

It does not matter what purpose/intent epsom salt is marketed for, epsom salt is epsom salt (magnesium sulfate). I buy mine in the pharmacy section of Target, some people buy theirs in plant stores, it is all the same, just used for many things.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I just realized, it says on the label you can use it as a laxative. Nonetheless, good to hear some are using the brand with good success.

It should work fine.

Just a followup question. What's a safe dosage I can use for plants just starting to show buds and how often should I feed?

Thanks in advance!
