4th Week of Flowering - Do I need to add nutrients?

I'm currently in the middle of my 4th week of flowering and the plant is being grown in Miracle Grow soil (with time released nutrients). By the looks of it, should I add any additional nutrients or should I just let it be?

Heres what I read about Miracle Grow and adding nutrients:
"If you used MG soil, do NOT nute at all during veg... and use only additional P-K and suppliments without "N" during bloom..."

I agree with the advice about nutrients, those time released N capsules are very hot they can burn the plants if you are not careful. Most mj growers don't like it because you never know how much you are feeding them. The plant looks healthy but it won't stay that way for long without nutrients, get some bloom nutes and start feeding right away. I would also suggest looking into super-cropping it will help the light penetrate the lower branches.

That girls green as can be, so looks like shes ok with the N for now, i dont know if extra would hurt, maybe a couple doses. Ive seen plants with lack of N turn completely yellow in bloom from not enough in veg. I cant say either way but it looks good so far

How long have they been in that soil?

They have been in that soil since I planted them (November 10th).

Than yes I would add sum nutrients to your soil.

I grew with MG for 2 years. It is a great soil to start learning with. I will tell you why. The biggest issue I had is keeping up with EVERYTHING. So making things more simple was what I did, MG soil should not be used for seedlings. I never had problems using clones in it. It is correct when saying NEVER add nutes during veg. I never did. I didnt have to fert my flowering plants until week 3.
I changed to a more nuetral soil and my first few grows sucked, why? simple, I didnt fert all through veg, which by the time it went to flower it was too late. After throwing out all I knew about MG soil I now have a beautiful crop at 5 weeks flowering.
Learn the basics then dump MG, this comes from a guy who argued tooth and nail in favor of MG.

i used MG nutes with that exact soil my first grow, it can feed plants up to 6 months, but will likely only last a small portion of that time. start feeding now, 1/2 stength, more if it looks like it needs it

You need to add more light.

Would super-cropping stunt/stress out the plant? And if not, can you suggest any specific techniques? My plan is to keep it in flowering for up to 11 weeks do to time restrictions.

i wouldnt do any traning now.

dont feed with any nitrogen. feed with a bloom feed, which is usually like 1-2-2.

if you know how to make compost tea, you can make one with bananas. its a excellent source of natural p and k.

if you veg for a month, just flush the soil, and use your own nutes.
