NEED ADVICE - Miracle Gro Moisture Control with 6 month feed

Hey guys. So, this is my first time growing alone. I learned what I know from a couple older guys that I had the pleasure of growing with for 2 years. I tried to retain all the information i learned while growing with them but apparently some of that knowledge has been forgotten. Anyway. I am growing outdoors in the Maritimes here in Canada. I just put my 4 girls outside last week. My question is this. I wasn't really sure on what soil to buy, and I should have researched it first. I asked the lady working at the store i bought my soil at and she pointed me towards the Miracle Gro Moisture Control (will add photo below). Come to find out, the nutrients are time released and are supposed to last for 6 months. I know the nutes in the soil contain a lot of nitrogen. Even though it says 6 month time release, do you guys think it will drastically effect my plant in the flowering stage? I've read multiple other posts on this forum and I've read mixed reviews.. Some say it is fine, some say it isn't. Is there a way I can flush the nutes out closer to the flowering stage? I realize that the nutes are released when watering.. but am I able to gradually release them faster than the 6 months? Should I transfer them to new soil? I'd rather not smoke weed that is full of chems.. Any advice would be nice. I'd also rather not spend anymore money if I don't have to. I also added a tablespoon of bone meal to each pot of soil when I planted and a handful of sheep manure. All 4 plants seem to be doing well, and have grown a fair amount since I put them outside 6 days ago. I should be harvesting around the beginning to middle of October.. put outside on june 26th. The picture with all 4 plants was the day I put outside. Thanks in advance.

You should have joined and inquired before buying
Now you want us to prove a negative
Nope
You don't even have 4 months of growing season left and you supposably have 6 months worth of nutrients
Doesn't sound like your plants will ever finish with all that nitrogen

EDIT: And welcome to RIU :weed:

But is the soil THAT rich in nitrogen that it will seriously effect the flowering stage?.. I'm hoping to find someone who has had some experience using the same soil or similar.. I unfortunately didn't think ahead when I was prepping to put outside.. If so, I can transplant if neccisary but I'd just rather not if I didn't have to.
 
Next time. Spend the extra buck in some super soil. Or if you must go with MG. Check out the pro pack blend. The black bag. That's about the only one I'd use (which I plan on next year on a couple).
 
I use to use it back in the day and never had an issue. It worked great on my stealth grows that were hard to get to daily, flowering was never an issue. I now just use truck loads of triple mix from the nursery.

will not hurt them i use it all the time.
just remember it raines and the stuff will wash out and into soil.
 
That’s the biggest thing about time release nutes.. there not time release really. Their water release and if it rains a lot it can wash it out. Also if it rains every few days for a longer period it can burn em. Using time release nutes is for the beginning of the season. It’ll work! But you gotta watch n try to control watering as much as possible.

here is one grow I did with two plants using happy frog and then 1 experimented using the miracle grow. Maybe I got the incorrect bag but yes didn’t work for me at all.
