You can use MG, just add some perlite to it, like 30% or more. And be careful adding nutes to it if it already has some in it.

There are better soils out there though.

i used MG organic choice to veg and made up my own mix for flowering.
Busey is correctomundo...there are better soils. but i havent tried them cuz i'm a cheap bastard and will often times mix my own peat/lite mix.
