Change the water. What type of system. I used 50/50 and regreted it. I would use grow plugs and wick it to the co co. Then do and ebb and flo. Don't worry about nute lock just go EASY on the nutes and water from bottom up. I would worry about a lot nmore things than that first!

Epsom salts is added for Magnesium, it will not help with nute lockout. If you do use it, you should use 1/3 of a tablespoon per 3 gal of water every 3 to 4 weeks. I use Calmag instead of Epsom salts because it adds calcium also, so I kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. Good luck.

I'm a soil grower, but I see no need for extra mag, if you have good nutes?

"every time I change the water ?"NO NO NO. let the plants tell you. buy and ppm meter. and a ph meter and DONT let co co dry out. You cant over wet it but you CAN under wet it.
