In order for somebody to tell you if Epsom will fix your problem, we need to see/ hear what the problem is.
Yes, I have used Epsom Salt, but not for yellowing.

Epsom salts are good for fixing issues, both in feed and foliage spray... but I would not use it as a cal/mag supplement through the grow (too much salts in my opinion)... I would go with blackstrap molasses for cal/mag supplements!

from my understanding epsom salts contains really high lvls of magnesium and not such high lvls of calcium which can ultimatly be bad for your plants...its a quick cheap fix for SOME people but in no way shape or form a alternative to a quality horticulture grade cal/mag solution

not sure if you have a Agway nearby or a hydro store but they will both offer a hroticultural grade cal/mag solution you can just add in with your waterings.

also if you pick up a bag of espoma garden lime (available at Agway) that had cal/mag in it already and will help maintain a stable soil PH...

my mix using fox farm ocean forest is as follows

1/2 bag Espoma garden tone organic fertilizer
1 bag FFoF potting soil
1/2 bag organic perilite
1/2 cup espoma garden lime

this mix has proven reliable over the past 2 grows no additional fertilizers are really needed untill week 4 of flower, i usually do one dose of veg nutes at about week 4 of veg then start my bloom nutes around week 2 of flower, probabally not necessary but im 100% organic so over ferting is pretty rare occurance.

hope this helps

You said you have yellowing tops. Can you be more descriptive? Epsom salt is good for a straight Mg supplement, also a bit of sulfur. there is not any significant Ca in it though. Cannabis is a heavy calcium feeder as well. '
