I used Miracle Grow organic soil for my first grow and got a beautiful girl. I didn't allow it to get too big but it was some of the best bud I've ever blazed.
As for the difference in organic soil, it contains much more organic matter. Organic matter improves water retention and reduces compaction by allowing larger pore spaces for oxygen to get to the roots.
I would probably not suggest trying to transplant just for a flush. It could create a lot of stress(transplant shock) on the plant and reduce the amount your buds put on in the last couple of weeks. I would just flush your soil real well. Most of the nutrients will be leachable with a substantial amount of water.

The three main nutrients you need to worry about are N-P-K(Nitogen-Phosphorus-Potassium). These are known as the macronutrients. During vegetative growth, a fertilizer high in nitrogen and potassium is your best bet. When you buy fertilizer you will see on the package a 3 number sequence such as 20-10-20 or 13-2-13. Those are always in the order of NPK. As you get to the flowering stage you will be best served by increasing the amount of phosphorus needed. Just make sure whatever you use, that you dilute it as recommended and even more on very small plants as the high concentration of nutrients can burn your plants.
If you get a fertilizer, it would be a good idea to choose one that contains the micronutrients as well. These are equally important to the macronutrients, but require less. These include, Iron, Manganese, Calcium, Sulfur etc.

i've used og mg and moisture ctrl mg and both where fine i like the og because it doesn't have time release in it (if you buy the one without it) and it doesn't seem to burn as much with time release the key is to ctrl ur watering if you over water thats more nutes being disolved thats my 2 cents on mg

It's not the worst, nor is it the best. Happy Frog is a step up, or Sunshine Mix.

Miracle grow Organic works fine. It's full of bugs usually though so I won't use it. It's produced big dank nugs though no prob - but at the cost of fungus gnats and other creepy crawlies. I'd suggest finding a big block of compressed coco if you can!
