Nutrient Schedules vs. Flush Times

Hey again everybody,

Question about flushing and nutrient schedules. Hypothetical strain: 60 days flowering. Let's say we have a schedule that we can tweak for a variable amount of flowering time, but doesn't account for any flushing, (I.E. nutes are at full strength right up until the last week, and then only a small reduction in levels)

The specific nutrients in question are House & Garden, which I am running with GSC - now I want a good two week flush, and don't know whether to set the schedule up for 8 weeks and ignore the last two weeks of the schedule; (which would bring them from 100%-0% immediately at a peak development time,) or to set the schedule at 6/7 weeks - reducing the total amount of nutrient (feed peak @ week 4-5)

I am 'mixing' the two schedules into one that I feel works the best, (Amino dropped at 3.5 weeks, Top Booster into week 4, no Shooting powder until week 5, but am still figuring out the specifics for weeks 5-6)

What would you do? Thanks all.

Yeah I think this needs another bump for some answers. I just finished a Killer Queen Redux, 55 day strain, and don't feel like I really hit the timings on all feedings entirely through flower. I think I screwed the pooch as far as finish goes. Any help is appreciated.
