Should I harvest my plants?

They are on flowering week 9 (calculated from when they started actually growing pistils, not light period switch). These plants are unusually tricky to interpret, there's large differences even in same bud. They also keep on pushing new bud growth despite optimal conditions.

I wouldn’t judge this one by “week 9” alone. The photo shows mixed maturity: some older calyxes look well developed, while she’s still throwing fresh white pistils/new growth. That can happen with genetics or late foxtailing and doesn’t necessarily mean the whole plant is immature. The important part is to check trichomes on mature calyxes, not the sugar leaves or the newest foxtails. In this photo I can see plenty of developed trichomes, but the magnification/lighting isn’t sufficient to reliably call clear vs cloudy vs amber. If the older calyxes are predominantly cloudy with some amber, I’d consider her in the harvest window even if she keeps producing fresh pistils. If they’re still substantially clear, give her more time. Don’t wait indefinitely for every new growth tip to “finish” — with some phenotypes, you’ll be waiting forever

You could, but for maximum maturity, another 5 - 7 days.

For a proper answer, we would need some photos of the trichomes — ideally macro shots. Unfortunately, with these pictures, we can only guess. You need to check the trichome heads on the calyxes, not on the sugar leaves, preferably under a microscope. Or you could use your phone to take a macro shot if it has that capability. Then we can help you determine the stage more accurately. :)
