NO don't move it!!!
that s/r fert you got ... how long does it take to dissolve? the way I see it at present is your plants will boom at first because of these ferts but if the ferts aren't dissolved and gone before flowering begins your yield will suffer because those ratios are wrong for best flowering.... or if yr plants get too much Nitrogen they may not flower at all! NO BULL! happened to me.
take it easy on the chemical ferts. you didn't need them. work out NOW what your plants will need for best flowering ... cheers

yeah I scrapped the move idea. I have Osmocote in the soil and it is s/r for 4 month 19-6-12. I had no idea nitrogen could prevent it from flowering. It's only been there 26days... Well any suggestions now???

mate I don't know where you live (tell me what is the latitude of yr area, altitude, close to the ocean/not).
in any case you will be past the summer equinox and the sun is shortening ... so yr plants will be getting ready to flower. so, can you remember date you put the O/coat on? when's it's 'time' up?
you should still be able to see the fert pearls lying around if they're not dissolved. get a lawn rake and carefully rake away as much of the stuff as you can.
if you're able to take the unused stuff away yr plant's probly had enuf fert for a while. then begin looking for a flowering fert with less than 10% N, around 5% P and 8 or more K. but don't put any on yet. give the plant a 'rest' from ferts for a while.
let me know how you go

Alright so the top 2" of soil and mulch was removed, pretty sure a lot of the fert was removed cause it was only mixed in the mulch. New layer of soil and new mulch, watered heavy w no ferts.

sound great! now just wait and watch for the flowers to begin and when you see this, fert for flowering. some people use flowering fert with N as low as 1. and some people foliar spray liquid potash with a small percentage of phosphates in it ... ideally this foliar spraying should begin two weeks before flowering ... but that'll be hard for a new grower to spot. try tho'. always keep a close eye on wot yr plant's doin.

as far as ferts i got kind of a sample pack from a friend. It's 3 small bags of FF Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, and Cha Ching. I have been following his instructions by giving them the FF OS 1st at pre-flowering as you suggested and follow suit in the order given above. My problem is here Open Sesame says it is 5-45-19 and the Beastie Bloomz is 0-50-30... Can I switch the them????? That would make it Beastie Bloomz, Open Sesame, and than Cha Ching to finish up.(9-50-10 btw) Any thoughts or disagreements????

follow the feeding chart. Look it up on ff's website if you don't have it. As far as when your girl's gonna start flowering....just keep an eye on the day light hours. It's listed in my paper..that's how i know. Soon as we hit 14 hrs in my area they start to do their thing.

another heavy watering just to be sure this morning, added 1/8 tsp of FF open sesame which is 5-45-19. There's def little budsites forming so probably only 2 more weeks and then a switch to beastie bloomz 0-50-30.
