Late flush on auto's or fuck it and harvest?

Ok, so I need some guidance on this harvest. It's no big deal but I find myself in a minor situation that i haven't encountered before and I cannot for the life of me make a decision. (Flu on the brain)

I have 4 pineapple express and 3 critical jack 65 days since sprouting (69 days from seed). They are ready to harvest. Probably have been for a few days. This is my problem.

I went to South Carolina last week on holiday and when I came back I was sick but knew the girls needed some water so I mixed some nutes fast and fed the girls, curled up into a fetus position, and ignored them for 2 days while I recovered from whatever fresh hell I contracted down south.

Today I finally felt well enough to check on them and these girls are ready to be harvested. Like now. I did some fast scopes and clear trichs are barely visible. we're at 50/50 amber/cloudy. Maybe even 60/40. Like I said, these bitches are ready to be harvested.

Normally I flush one week and toss them into 48 hours of darkness. If I did this it would be 10 more days before I harvested them. Way, way past harvest.

This is my dilemma: Knowing I gave them nutes 2 days ago do I start a flush/dark period or bite the bullet and just harvest them?

I know this works for me on my wild flowers(not auto's) I run multiple crops on the same res. I run the same mix give or take a gram or so depending on how everything appears. Instead of doing a conventional flush I crop all the fans and chop them at the butt. Then I let them suck up about .5 litres of RO water in a twenty four hour period. This is done in the budding room, 12/12. Of course I plant(clones) at the same time I crop. I pull them out to trim as the light comes on, after the 12 hours of darkness.

Ready to harvest now....do it now, I used to mess with a days darkness not any more, you may note the taste of nutes in a sample in about a months time .... or you may not
