Help what's going on with my girls please advise

Hi there from a newb that is at a loss :wall:
Ok so first time grow 2 plants in a SOG set up under 1K HPS one Sativa one Indica. They are both in their 9th week of flowering and there is definitely some weird stuff going on. First off we think they hermied but it seem more prevelant in the new growth. This late in the game we figured we could salvage most of the bud since we are so far long. In one week it appears that the buds are shrinking and instead of the leaves retracting into the bud they are looking more present. We have had some new growth on top of the colas and it looks like there are more new white pistols. I am going to post some before and after. So these are my questions - If the plant did hermie do the buds stop maturing and we shouldnt expect and progession with the trichs and pistols? Is it normal for the buds to star shrinking? The trichs are basically cloudy with some amber..will they turn more amber? Is it normal at this stage for the leaves to die off and turn yellow?
I guess if you cant look at the pics and give any advice I would be so appreciative.
Some posts make it sound like the plant wont look good at the end of the process so I dont know if Im just completely bugging out or really what do.
Thank you so much!
The pics that are in the teens and 20's are the old and the ones in the img 50's are the ones I took this morning. They are both tied down everywhere so this are the best pics I could take.

they look and sound like it's harvest time. i'd start flushing. actually, i'd of started flushing about a week ago..... and they look great!
 
They look good? The buds have shrank so much and all the leaves are dieing. I posted before pics as well from a couple of weeks ago..the ones that have IMG 50-60 are from today and the early ones are all from 7th week of flowering.
Geesh..am I just bugging out? Also is it normal to have new growth on top of colas at this late in the game? We are flushing today with clearex..is that ok?
Thanks !
 
i just use plain water, but a lot of folks use clearex. i think you're late harvesting and anything out of the ordinary is the result of waiting too long...
 
Yea I guess anything is possible since this our first time. But we were waiting for the majority of pistols to turn red and the trichs to be 50 amber 50 cloudy. And quite frankly neither are occurring. We just put so much time and energy..money I hope we get some good stuff out of her.
Thank you for your advice!
 
if this is your first grow, you should be happy! most folks get diddly the first time. don't even take the pistil color into consideration, could be a phenotype. trichomes is the only way to tell for sure....
