I would keep feeding and then use the 'Emergency Flush' method. The last 2 weeks is when the bud packs on the most weight so without nutes it wont grow to its full potential. The emergency flush only takes 3 days and does a better job in my opinion. Heres a couple of links explaining the emergency flush method in more detail:

When you use the emergency flush it will actually get rid of more stored nutes in the plant in 3 days than a normal 2 week flush will in soil. You will never completely flush the plants if they are growing in soil.

im growing in rockwool and clay balls do you think a week of straight water and a bubbler will be enough to clean out nutes

It may be ok but I would still use the emergency flush method (EFM).

I usually do the EFM for 2-3 days at the normal 12/12 cycle and then its lights out for 24-48 hours to help increase the resin. After that its harvest time :bigjoint:.

I guarrantee that this method is one of the best ways to flush without a doubt!
