Your highly soluble chem ferts will wash out of the soil quite easily. The chems in plant tissue will work their way out over the course of a few weeks.
.
The day after the flush, mix up a mild (NPK range like 2-1-1 to 4-3-2) higher N fertilizer tea, and give each plant two quarts of it. Follow that up by topdressing one cup of worm casting (or make a worm castings tea - then topdress the leftovers) to provide micro-life to get things going. (The higher N fertilizer tea helps establish the micro-life, then switching to bloom fertilizer teas later works better).
.
These little micro-beasties (good bacteria & fungi) that come out of & along with the worm castings, will greatly improve things in the rootzone.
.
In the meanwhile, read the thread " Making Tea is E-Z & Cheap " in this forum, to pick up info on fertilizer teas and their use.
.
Hope this helps....
Keep it Real....Organic....
