I had a few different problems with the MG 6-month release when I first started using it but once I played around with it, it seemed to work out perfect. I didn't have to add any nutes until flowering and I started below 1/4 strength and worked my way up 3/4 strength and then flushed from there for the remaining 1.5-3 weeks(depending on strain). I added nutes every other watering and I usually water every other day during flowering. I also water more on days that I do not use nutes. It's different for everyone though and some people just have a lot of problems with the release soils.
