Is my Blue Widow ready to chop?

Hi all,
About 2 and a half months ago I started a microgrow in a PC tower using a small 1 liter DWC tupperware container. It has now been 7 weeks and 1 day since I began flowering. About three or four days ago I got my new grow equipment (400W HPS/MH light, 24x36x51 frame, fans, pretty much the works), and I took my Blue Widow out of the PC and put it under the 400W. Since then I have seen an amazing amount of growth (specifically the popcorn nugs at the bottom are getting bigger) in just a matter of days due to going from 1 23W CFL to 400 watts. I snapped a few photos of the plant for you guys to check it out and give me a good idea of when I should cut it. As you can see, I accidentally let her get a bit too tall in the PC and the CFLs burned some top leaves. I had planned on chopping her this Saturday, which will be 8 full weeks of flowering, which means I need to go ahead and start flushing if its ready. What do you guys think? Should I give her another dose of nutes or start flushing?photo (2).jpgphoto (1).jpgphoto.jpgphoto (3).jpgphoto (4).jpg

Appreciate the replies, folks. Is a two week flush really necessary? Im using Technaflora's Recipe for Success and it suggests that for pre-harvest formula (the last week before you chop) to add some "Sugar Daddy" as well as some Mag/Cal for the first three days and then for the final four days do a flush with ph adjusted water. Last grow I did, I flushed it 7 days before chopping and it seemed fine. Do you think four days is sufficient? Is two weeks really necessary?? Thanks for your help,
The Anaylst

Thanks Jack. So if I flush today and give it nothing but ph'ed water until, say, Sunday, do you think that I could chop it on Sunday and not have any issues? I understand that the point of "flushing" is to get rid of any nutes that are leftover and its not a good idea to let impatience get the best of me, especially this late in the game, but I trust Technaflora and the "recipe for success" that I have been using, i've used it twice now and its provided outstanding results. It says four days of regular water after flushing if sufficient, and its hard for me not to believe, because I followed every step of the recipe on both of my grows and they both turned out better than I could have ever asked for (I have no gardening experience whatsoever). Basically, what is the minimum number of days after I flush to chop?

Yes you can do that that's enough time..really just take's one good flush and water next then let it dry up and harvest!!THE PROBLEM WITH TECH, IS THAT ALL THEIR INFORMATION IS CORRECT!! IF YOU DIDN'T OVER DO IT...AND MOST PEOPLE DO OVER DO IT! THAT'S MY TIMELINE FOR THAT REASON...IF IT WORKED FOR YOU BEFORE THEN DO THAT FOR SURE!! IT'S PROVEN FOR YOU!! IF YOU HAD SAID THAT EARLIER I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT IT WAS FINE!!!Good nute's when used properly!!
