You definitely made a mistake using dirt from the ground, since it's not soil at all. But changing the soil... that's pretty tricky man. People go from soil to hydro, but once you get the plant out of the soil I can't really imagine how you could nicely re-plant it without causing some stress, or quite possibly worse than that.

If there's a lot of sulfur in the area the dirt lying around is probably very bad. Hate to say it but Mg def is probably the least of your worries man.
canuck grower Reviewed by canuck grower on . magnesium deficiency will a change of soil fix the problem according to the plant abuse guide one of my plants has a magnesium deficiency but the pics dont look quite the same as my plant i live in an area thats extremely volcanic so is very sulphurous i have used just normal soil from the ground which i think is the biggest problem so if i change soil & flush the roots gently will that solve my nutrient/soil problem cheers:hippy: Rating: 5
