Hygrozyme and composting

I've been recycling my soil for a few months now with great success, and decided to use Hygrozyme to clean it out after a few cycles, and now I'm curious if I did it correctly.

I added the Hygrozyme to my soil (diluted in water) after amending and mixing it, which must have been a mistake because I didn't get the webbing effect from the microbial activity I normally get on top of the soil.

Next time I will use it on the soil before amending, than let it dry out for a week before mixing.

The soil is composting right now and smells really ripe as usual, I'm just worried it won't be nearly
as hot when it's done.

If anyone has done this or has an opinion on whether I ruined my soil feel free to let me know what
you think... it might help me prevent some mediocre harvests in the near future.

The hygrozyme is what appears to have inhibited the microbial activity, so I'm not sure I want to add more now... maybe after the mix is done composting. I could be wrong, so I'll just assume your saying hygrozyme doesn't negatively affect microbial activity. Thanks for the response.
