At this stage in flowering, Cal-mag is almost as likely to trigger an N toxic reaction because of the Nitrogen. Yes you're right on with the packs, in a perfect world, you wouldn't add moisture packs until your humidity inside the jar is at about 60%,(1 or 2 weeks after you jar them). You can pick up cheap analog hygrometers at almost any pet store and throw them in your jars so that you're not guaging it by the feel so much. But you've got it pretty dead on if you do it the way you just mentioned 
You should turn out with some incredible bud, you've done your homework and it's so close to paying off! As far as flush goes, it really is something to experiment with a little. I've never tried products made for the end flush, but I would imagine that unless you've been going pretty heavy on fertilizer, you shouldn't even have that much salt build up...not if you've been giving nutes as you've said. So you not giving too much nutes will help you out a ton in regards to how long to flush for it to be effective. Flushing is only about leaching the nutrients out of the roots....once heavy metals and etc get inside the bud mass, it's near impossible to remove them...they're there to stay.
*EDIT* Steve, I'm not seeing anything seriously wrong with your plants man. I mean. I saw that very mild nute burn, but at this stage in your plants life, just keep doing what you're doing, it is clearly working with those beasts. At this stage, I also almost always have to reduce my nutrients by about 1/3 or 1/2, and I'm almost willing to bet that this is in some way related to the mild nute burning and really light yellowing (or maybe that was just light reflecting badly). It always makes my canopy leaves yellow, then get necrotic spots like a cal-mag deficiency, then the whole leaf would turn crunchy....if this starts to happen, more than likely it's because you're overfeeding or haven't reduced your feed for late bloom. To an untrained eye it looks like cal-mag def.

I rarely need to add anything else to this base, and keeps a stable PH unlike some others (*Cough Cough* Advanced Nutrients PH Perfect *Cough Cough*). About forgot to mention, yeah your plants have a bare minimum of three weeks to go, and maybe more. A cheap 30x digital microscope will save you so much fretting over when to harvest, jewelers loupes will work but just not quite as effectively. Your beautiful babies still have at least one more stage of 'swelling' to go through, so no worries! I'm rambling again lol, I look forward to the new pics though bud have a good one!
