I thought it could be a big help to new growers to have a place to ask for help and perhaps some of the more experienced growers could get on and answer simple grow questions.
While we wait for any new grower that needs help I thought it might be a good idea to share random grow tips.
Here's mine for the day 
When using LED lighting your plants will get a cal/mag deficiency , I always add a half a tea spoon of Epsom salts with my tea or watering,keeps the cal/mag def away.

A tip to alter the above tip?... Try replacing the epson salts with a dose of unsulfered molasses. (in soil)
Contains Cal/Mg and sugars that feed the micro herds living in soil. Said to add weight, and stickiness.
1tbls spoon molasses per 1gal water

That is a good tip! molasses is good stuff and full of calcium and potassium and good for your plants I do use it, but unfortunatly not enough to combat the cal/mag monster from the LED lighting.It litterly sucks the green right out of your plants if you let it so a little extra Mag in the Epsom saves the day literally.
You can buy bottled cal/mag I used earth juice before, but it still was not as good as Epsom salts.
