Per the manufacturer, Miracle-Gro Water Soluble All Purpose Plant Food can be applied at anytime. If plants are experiencing drought or really dry soil, then it is suggested to water the plant before applying the product. Light to moderate rain is perfectly fine before or after an application.
In fact, you should wait 14 days after applying the fertilizer for the next application. Too much Miracle-Grow can burn the plant's roots, leading to irreversible damage. Also, you must not water your plants after using Miracle-Gro.
It is important to water plants thoroughly with plain water before applying the liquid fertilizer to avoid burning the roots if the soil is dry. Also, take care that the fertilizer is indeed diluted based on instructions, or you could burn the leaves.
If your plant leaves' color is alright, but they are becoming out of shape or deformed, stop using miracle gro on them. The deformation of leaves occurs when you are using too much miracle-gro on them. Weakened plants from either the stems or the roots are a sign of overdosing fertilizers.

At Master Lawn, we typically say to wait 24 hours before watering your lawn after fertilizing. But it is important to make sure that it does receive a good watering session soon after that 24 hour waiting period. Watering helps the fertilizer to activate and to break down and begin feeding nutrients to the lawn.
Before fertilizer application, lightly water the soil. This ensures even wetting of the soil which will help the liquid fertilizer to reach the roots and provide nutrients easily. This will also prevent fertilizer burn in case proper dilution of the product hasn't been achieved.
Typically, you should hydrate your lawn prior to applying any fertilizer, or apply it during the early hours of dawn when the grass is still damp with dew. The moistness aids the fertilizers to adhere to the weeds' leaves.
While many high quality bagged soils, such as Miracle-Gro® All Purpose Garden Soil and Miracle-Gro® Potting Mix, contain plenty of food to give plants a good start, many plants (especially heavy-feeding plants like tomatoes and dahlias) need more as the season wears on.
Start feeding early.
Continue to feed on a regular basis according to label directions. If you've planted new plants in Miracle-Gro® soil or potting mix, then wait 30 days to start fertilizing because your plants will feed off the abundant nutrients already in the soil.

MG is so strong that if used incorrectly, the fertilizer will actually burn the leaves and roots of your plants (you may have already experienced this). Imagine what it's doing to the healthy bacteria, fungi and other soil microbes that are working so hard to provide the nutrients your plants need.
Fertilize outdoor plants in the coolest part of the day, such as early morning or late evening, especially in hot summer weather. Always water in fertilizers well to distribute nutrients throughout the soil profile and to prevent burning.
The simple answer is no you can't. You would have intense concentrations of fertilizers, pockets of nothing but fertilizers. Soon as the roots hit it the plant would die. Any fertilizer is always well mixed in with a large amount soil to avoid just that problem.
