Magnesium chloride

[Mork]

Just ordered a bag off Tim - problem solved.

On the subject of Magnesium. I'm following Balling light, so just used the Mag chloride. But I was wondering if I should add some Mag sulphate too?

Thoughts?

I didn't think you were trying to undercut me as the pricing is almost the same for similar products so no worries. I just converted mine from metric as people may not have seen the /kg on a quick glance. :-)

Yes, you should add some Epsom Salt as well. The Balling recipe calls for 550grams Mag Chloride and 80 grams Epsom salt in 10 litres of water.

The older Balling Light formula does but many people these days just use straight Magnesium chloride (I am one of them) and it works just fine.

And I mix 2 kg of magnesium chloride into 2.5 g (just under 10L)

2 of this, one of that though. Its all about what works for you. And obviously either one will work.
