Does anyone add epsom salt to reservoir or hand water with it?

I am growing autos with a 240w kingbrite led quantum board and every plant I have grown has had what looks like magnesium deficiencies regardless of the nutrients I use. I have read that led quantum board lights sometimes make the plants need more magnesium. I do not want to use calmag. I do have epsom salt. I have read you can do it in a foliar spray but I have low humidity in the tent like around 50% and I have read that foliar works better in higher humidity. I want to try mixing epsom salt in the water I feed the plants with. I am planning to use autopots for it on there.

Do any of you put epsom salt in the water in your reservoir or in the water you hand water your plants with? How much per gallon and do you do it for the whole grow or do you do some watering with epsom salt in the water and some without it in the water on there?
 
Hey fella, Epsom salts aka Magnesium Sulphate, is good for what ails 'em.

I use in flower feed for a boost as my tap water makes up for any normal def's.
As its supplemental I add about 5 grams (teaspoon) per 2 litres every second feed. No issues to date.
Good luck sorting.
 
Thanks. I am growing in coco now and I think that when I do soil in the next grow that it would not be as much of a problem on there.
