question about soil fertilizer

hey so I have a plant that is 3 weeks into flowering, looking really good except she was a little root bound, so yesterday with the advice of a local shop that sells grow stuff I semi-transplanted her(cut off the old bottom and stackedthe pots). the soil i transplanted her into was a new bag I had to buy and on the front of it it said "continuously feeds up to four months". Come harvest time (5 or 6 weeks) I wanted to flush her of all nutes and if the soil is continuously feeding her does that mean I'm gonna end up smoking the shit that is still being fed from the soil?

ps the soil was miracle gro organic potting soil said it was good for veggies and indoor plants, has mostly nitrogen

i hope that makes sense to someone else:?: thanks

ya.. you might not get a really clean flush .. maybe start flushing with straight water early, like 3 - 4 weeks before harvest.. it won't be bad - it is nice to get as close to pure cannabis and water as possible for the sake of taste, but it is not like you will be inhaling roasted poo.. ;)

oh and WELCOME TO ROLL IT UP!!

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I don't flush, and my organic mix has way more stuff in it than the MG.

IMO, flushing and organics just don't equate.

It makes since to flush out the nutrients for the sake of less fertilizer in your bud. 4 weeks sounds a lil to long to starve your plants. IMO ,but who im i to say?

ya - in my mind i was thinking more like 3 instead of 2 weeks.. 4 would be quite a bit..

I just don't understand how i can flush her if the fertilizer is still coming from the soil...i'll obviously cut the nutes (sensibloom a&b) in the water about 2 or 3 weeks before harvest, but it's not like i can take her out of the soil..:confused:

i don't want fertilizer in my bud, i'd like my homegrown to be as pure as possible..

I got 11 ounces out of one plant. No JOKE!!! Organic Miracle Gro. Although I started flushing with 3 weeks left. Worked great for me.
