Harvesting marijuana by trichome color

Does anybody have experience with this? My plants have mostly cloudy and around 5-10% amber trichomes with some clear ones here and there. It says peak harvest is when 50% are cloudy and 50% are amber but I'm not so sure as I've smoked a little sample bud and it got me completely ripped but I want to get every last drop of THC out of my plants so any info on this would be appreciated. I've searched for hours on end so pretty much just looking for firsthand experience.

I would harvest it now man,the more amber they get the more narcotic the high should be. I guess it depends on what you want.

Yea I probably will end up chopping tomorrow or the next day. I just dont like seeing clusters of clear ones supposedly they don't contain thc until they go cloudy.

I would wait until wednesday. Or at least tomorrow night. The extra day does make a difference.

To some, fallen trees are ugly. But in reality, it is the circle of life at its finest. This is a beautiful world, its time that we recognize that before its all gone."

I've always heard 50%/50% from the growers I know. One of them has a horticulture degree, so I definitely trust him. I've heard rumors about different percentages of trichrome colors producing different highs, but I think they're unfounded so I won't mention them.
Just keep checking the trichromes with the loupe.
Edit: you should post this on The Growery, you'd get much better answers there.

I always harvested my plants when the trichomes are completely cloudy and just started to turn amber.

Yeah harvest now. During the dry/cure the trichomes will mature more anyway so you'll probably end up a lot closer to 50/50 then you think.
I prefer to harvest right when I start to see a few amber ones, probably either right where you're at or a few days before.

That's the best kind, pussies
Yea if my weed doesnt make me sleepy I don't feel satisfied. I smoke more to go to sleep and chill and watch movies and up highs just completey suck for that. Whenever I smoke pure sativas I just end up getting paranoid thoughts and can't sit still which for my personal preference is the total opposite of how weed should be.

If that's what you're after hold on another week, give or take a few days.
