Thats how I did it when I was first learning. I used Fox Farms schedule at half strenghth on a feed/water/water schedule, worked good for me. But, that is a very generic way of doing it, but it was easy to manage.

First two weeks of flowering using plain water? That doesn't sound like a great idea, unless I'm missing something. With quality ferts, you want to just alternate water & feeding every time. Water, Feed, Water, Feed, etc. When the plants are halfway to 2/3 of the way through flowering and really putting on weight, you can sometimes even throw in extra feedings (water, feed, feed, water, feed). Just watch the lowest and oldest leaves, like the first single-bladed leaves the plant grew. You want to burn them off by the end of flowering to be sure you're giving the plants all they can take.
