Questions about gritty mix potting.

I finally have all the ingredients for my gritty mix all mixed up and ready to go. I know I'm supposed to do a root wash and get all of the soil off of the roots of my plants, but..

1. What's the best way of doing this?
2. Is this going to over water my plants?
3. Some of my plants have really small tangled roots. How do I get all of the soil off of those without damaging them?
4. I usually don't water after repotting, does the same rule follow while in a gritty mix?
5. For those who use Foliage-Pro 963 fertilizer.. there is a few different directions on the back of the bottle, which ones do I follow?

I did this batch with lava rocks, but I think I'm going to switch to Al's recipe. I just don't think I got the lava rock small enough, but it will have to do for this batch. :(

Thanks in advance - Sam
