Not my words. . . .
This is what's said in the FAQ:
"When growing Indica hybrids, unless you want to end up on the couch, it’s best to harvest when the trichome heads are fully formed but before they start to cloud over and turn amber."
"With the Sativa dominant hybrids you want to make sure that all the trichome heads are fully formed and also about thirty percent amber. Letting a plant mature beyond this will risk flavor as well as, the finished smoke may be harsh with very little “high”. "
"1.Fully formed but still clear will provide a cleaner ‘up’ high with less sedative effect; this is the best window for heavy Indicas.
2.Fully formed and turning slightly cloudy or milky; this is probably the best time to pick most hybrids available today.
3.Fully formed completely cloudy or milky with at least thirty percent of the heads turning amber; this is usually best window for the late maturing Sativa’s such as Haze. This is also a good window when using the plant primarily for Hash production.

i researched for months and i harvest at cloudy trichs no clear ones. if you have more than 20% clear wait, your plant is still producing.
. . .also herb colas grows in "final" stages, "bud" as we like to call it, is a fruiting flower and not all flowers finish at the same time. so clip your plant as you see fit. unless you grow in large quantities.
. . . .anywho, there is much debate on the amber trichromes. i do not go amber, i only go 95%+ cloudy and the rest are amber. the reason being is that the amber is the degradation of thc to cbd or cdb i always get confused, then your stone goes from an up high to a down high. i have researched and there has been a significant amount of evidence supporting a claim of a longer and clearer stone if you harvest at cloudy trichs. i belive this. we all experience the "come down". you wake and bake and later on in the day you want to take a nap. To test this you have to smoke your plants throughout your grow. for me cloudy stones make me less tired later and the stone last longer. amber stones are shorter and the come down is sleepy. that's fine for before bed.
. . .now depending on what you want then there is your harvest time. . .but there are oodles of herb strains that all boast a different feeling. the best way to start is grow one and smoke that one at all it's different stages in trich production and become your own judge.
. . .no one can tell you how your own stone feels therefore you are your only audience.
