Harvest Time? Please Help!

ok i have a couple plants that are right at 7 1/2-8 1/2 weeks old right now. This past week was meant to be the final res change because the older of the 3 are sativa dom. so i tried to time it perfectally for harvest since my mekong high is a 9 week sativa.

i mixed my nutes last sunday... except i mixed the base nutes in the res., got a phone call and told my girlfriend to mix the rest the same way shes seen me do it. feed chart and everything on the wall.

come to find out this past week these plants have EXPLODED in new growth, and i was trying to figure out why. apparantly instead of adding botanicare cns17 ripe, she added botanicare pure blend pro grow. i cant argue that its created tons of new flower growth.

now im left wondering if i should wait til this new growth stops and matures, or just chop them. main point, the PPM in the reservoir HASNT gone down at all in the past 4 days. not 1 PPM. i see the new growth as its all over my pure skunks running colas, but the mature calyxes are swollen and the buds rock hard and tight.

i dont know if i should wait it out another week to see if its going to fatten up more with the new calyxes and end up giving me more weight... or if i should just chop now and get my next crop in the flowering room.

i have a whole tray of new strong plants that need to flower. so does anyone think that ill get anymore new weight thats worth it? or just chop? ive never had this happen before, so im totally lost.

p.s. somebody pleaseee throw me a bone and help me out.

Check the trics dude, cloudy atleast. you can get a microscope cheap at radioshack.

i have one, and the problem im having is that at the beginning of the week they were 65-70% opanque(between cloudy&amber) and now with all the new flower growth thats gone down to about 30-40%. i mean i got new buds coming out of mature buds that i didnt think could get any bigger.

on the weird side my PPM has been constant at 798ppm for 5 days until this morning where it shot to 849ppm. other than a flush, ive never seen that happen either.
i may just wait it out because new flowers are coming out of every bud. i think it may be worth the wait. i have at least 2oz per plant, so maybe ill get another quarter for the wait. if it works im gunna start throwing in botanicare grow at the end of every flower cycle.

ok so i harvested 1 plant today. i know it could have easily used another 2 weeks but it was starting to pop out male bananas on the bottom buds while the tops were still poppin out all kinds of new flowers. i didnt really grasp how freakin big it was, nor how much it weighed wet.

im not sure what it weighed wet because when i tried to weigh it on my scale, it said error. so i know its well over 200g's. im drying now and since its all one huge cola, im not going to lose much to stems. heres some pictures...
