Light contamination in the final weeks. Advice?

I have about 20 plants on almost week 8 of flower. Everything was going great until the last couple weeks. Some domestic issues had me off my game. I accidentally bumped the settings on one of my timer's and they went almost 24 hrs with lights on. I fixed it right away, but then another night I left the rooms light switch on after closing up. Once again they had almost 24 have of lights on.
Im a dumbass, I know.
Anyway, that was over a week ago. A few days ago I noticed new growth shooting out of mainly the tops of the buds. The buds that were there look like they have a week left, although I think they would have been done by now without the light interruption.
Has anyone had this happen before? I'm really concerned that the almost done buds will just stop maturing. I'm even more concerned about Hermies.
Does anyone know what is likely to happen here?
Here are some pics of what I mean.IMG_20161206_171112599.jpg IMG_20161206_171101688.jpg IMG_20161206_171051279.jpg

They are revegging.... If you continue to let them flower you will end up with a plant that looks strange, but it will still get you high...

if finished, harvest some, let some go, they dont look "done" to me, but I cant see the trichomes either so maybe so.

If I am doing the math right, then you noticed this about a week after the last incident.

Those leaves are covered with trichomes, which take a fair time to develop. In other words they look pretty old and actually they look completely normal in my opinion.

Don't sweat it man. You're fine. Now stop screwing up your lighting, pretend it never happened, and harvest accordingly.

Do you know if the existing buds, not the new growth will continue to mature normally?
The trichomes are mostly cloudy with some clear. Almost no amber.
I actually snipped a branch a few days ago to see what's up. It definitely gets u high but it's missing that heavy stoned quality if that makes sense.
I just don't know if I should be choping everything before the Hermes and regrowth destroys everything or ride this bitch out.

I hope your right that I'm fine. I just can't help but sweat it. It's been a pricy grow. I was cashing in bottle deposits to pay the 700$ light bill and I've got colas so heavy that it's a daily struggle keeping them propped upright . The thought of getting a sub par smoke just makes me sick. Not to mention I have to have enough cash to keep the lights on for the next batch.

Yeah, you're fine, the plant will continue to let the buds develop... I just meant the strange rubbery leaves give the plant an odd appearance.
You will notice even the strange leaves will grow trichomes on them that are very smokeable...
