Papa Jim....try fertilizing every other time you water. As long as you overwater by 10-15%, maintain your solution ph and root zone ph 5.6-6.4, and keep your EC in the 1.8-2.4 mS range, you'll do even better. But your nutrient must be a complete tomato formula. MG won't get it because it has no calcium. In hydroponics, a product like MG will result in total failure.
