The pic with your hps on is probably the clearest. But because your hps is on, can't really tell and your other pics are pretty blurry

Honestly, don't go by what a package says. They're rarely right.
I'd give it another week, but tell you what, do a staggered harvest. Cut the tops or the ones you think are ready.

A might just do that 2 of them are defo ready but there are a couple that could go 1 more week no bother would the heat stress they got have slowed them down a bit? 
The 1 and only way to know if a plant is ready for harvest that isnt a clone previously grown is to check the trichomes.
Any other way is guessing and could be way far off. Never judge harvest by pistils. I have seen plants that were beyond ready still growing plenty of white pistils and I have seen plants nowhere near ready with red pistils already retracted into the buds.
Get a scope and know for sure.

they look about right. the only way to know 100% is to get a jewelers loupe and check the color of the trichomes. Next round try to keep your temps down, the leaves folding in look like they're getting too much heat stress.

Cheers guys went and got a magnifying glass last nyt and checked them not that easy to see with it but am almost sure most of the trichomes are cloudy and a few Amber so I will just go for it the day

Yes heat stress will slow them down, above 85 degrees cannabis has a difficult time growing. Apparently more amber hairs results in a body oriented stone, less amber is more cranial. Be patient and give time to properly dry/cure the buds.

Straighten out that ducting brah. Bends less than 90 degrees decrease fan efficiency and increase noise.
