Damn..
So I'm wasting time and resources using tap water and adding Beneficial Bacteria? ..
Maybe I should switch to the Rainwater..
As for the sickly plant.. I still think the soil is the culprit.. Did you sort out the bug infestation the other day?

What if I add great white microbes to the gallon also? Will the hydrogen peroxide just kill those microbes off?

Hydrogen peroxide will kill all the beneficial bacteria but after a week or so it will come back especially if you use EM1 or any other microbe everybody has a different preference on brand

Considering they lay their eggs in the dirt and the larvae eats roots and decaying plant matter I would treat it's fun to watch the dirt start to phone plus if it's all locked it also helps dissolve the salt as the water runs through

How do I apply the epson salt?

When you first thought your plants if you're going to use epsom salt you can put it in the soil and mix it in but in this case if you're going to be treating that you're going to want to dissolve it into water

One tablespoon of Epsom salt to a gallon of water once a month at the most
