Um, well after a bit of research I can say for sure that pre-ferted soil is something you don't want to flush out because the water activates the time released fertz...the more water, the more fertz are released.
I feel a bit guilty cause I told you flushing was good (which normally is..) So sorry for misguiding you
On a positive note, we all learned something very important today...

Next time when using pre fert soil I'll use warm water to make the time release shit release everything and it'll melt the little plastic lookin balls of fertilizers,before I plant any thing in them I think flush it a couple times to make sure I got it all

Ocean Forest is the best soil you can buy
And if you are having problems getting gardening stuff in your area, try a hydroponic store and not the local hardware or whatever
Ocean Forest® is a powerhouse blend of premium earthworm castings, bat guano, and Pacific Northwest sea-going fish and crab meal. Composted forest humus, sandy loam, and sphagnum peat moss give Ocean Forest® its light, aerated texture. Start with Ocean Forest® and watch your plants come alive!
Garden tip: Perfect for containers and ready to use right out of the bag. Ocean Forest® is pH adjusted at 6.3 to 6.8 to allow for optimum fertilizer uptake. There’s no need for nitrogen fertilizers at first; instead try an organic blend like FoxFarm Big Bloom™ Liquid Plant Food to encourage strong branching and a sturdy, healthy growth habit.

Would you recommend using foliage feeding?

For indoor growing unless you are trying to correct a deficiency due to nutrient lockup, I would say no...especially for a noob grower.
And if you foliar feed under an HPS light, the droplets will cause burn spots on the leaves..you gotta do it like right before the dark period
Foliar feeding permits more rapid absorbtion of the nutes
But that's my opinion...some swear by foliar feeding though
Everything with growing MJ is sooo debatable

Keep it as simple as possible for now man....once you have mastered the basics then you can move on to more advanced techniques. I did my first grow when I was 17 ( 15 years ago) and I am still learning every single day...the techniques and possibilites are endless, but one step at a time...
It's like a baby who learns to walk...they crawl, the take baby steps, and then they run!
