I'd only use MG soil if I couldn't find hap frog or ocean .Right ingredient, wrong measurement
I top dress with 1 tbsp per gal of soil. This is especially helpful with MG soils. They tend to get acidic when the nutrients are used up
MG from what i understand has timed release nutes, so in a 3-4 month grow its still releasing veg or nitrogens when you want the other
