Depends on the type of high you want. Regardless of terpenes and genetics if you harvest with milky thrichomes its the peak of the effects you get sedative and active high. If you wanted fully active high, well, its about time now, as when you get cloudy/clear/amber all at the same time being the majority of them cloudy, you get the widest spectrum of effects. If you want it basically fully sedative, just hold on for a couple weeks untill its fully amber crystals and you got it. Its up to you. I like to harvest them at a point where some might say its a premature harvest, but i know what i'm aiming for, it just blast my mind everytime, since i need to be active and can't even risk couchlock i harvest with clear crystals. I get less yield but i get the high i want, and its better to get 70% of what you like than 100% of what you don't really want. Stay well, and good growing growmie (Copy pasted from myself because this answer comes up like 3 times a day everyday)

Heya! I would judge based off the trichromes for sure as depending when you harvest will determine more of the effect you get. More milky for a head high and more amber trichs for a couch lock effect. I have had plants all harvested with 30% amber trichs but still 10% white pistils on some plants and 30% on others All strain dependent and pheno dependent my friend. Cheers,

The pistils not always turn color when the thricomes are ready. Sometimes they turn mucho earlier or never.
