Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a solution to my problem. I used soil with nutes in the soil to grow my plant, which wasnt a smart idea im assuming. How would I make sure all the nutes are flushed out? thanks alot

IMO it depends on the soil. Some soils have slow release nutrient balls. If you are also using a nutrient solution in your water you can end up with a nute burn over time. I think the best way to grow is to use top grade soil without nutes and add the nutes to your water solution. You have more control over the process and reduce the risk of a nutrient burn on the plants which can have bad affects on the plants.
 
I would say definitely transplant your plants into a higher grade soil-Fox Farm Ocean Forest is awesome. I know this probably seems like a lot of trouble but for me, it was worth it. I was having problems with some crappy Miracle Gro time released nute stuff and my plants nearly died until i transplanted them into the soil I mentioned and the plants immeadiately began to thrive....so I would say transplanting is serioulsy worth your while.
