For my part I expect at least 45/50% amber trichomes, but ideally I prefer to wait for the 65/70%.
It all depends on what you're looking for, if you want to smoke a weed that leaves you active you'll get it at 45/50, but if you want a weed that sticks to the bottom of the couch it's better to wait beyond 65% amber.
The mother strains of your plant will play as well, the indica will be more stoned while the sativa will have higher tones.

Gorgeous looking plant there, what strain is that? I prefer like most people to have minimum Ambers, so when I start to see all cloudy trichs, I flush and then 10/14 days later ish I harvest and there will be a few amber. 🌱👍
To be sure to cut it at the right time, you should mainly not rely on the color of the plant but rather on the trichomes, which will first be clear, then white-beige opaque (that's when I personally cut), and finally opaque brown.
My goal is to harvest with as many cloudy trichomes as possible since I want max thc levels. I start flushing about 10% amber and they are usually mostly cloudy after a week of flush. Good luck with your harvest!
Hi mate everybodies opinions will differ and it also really depens on whether its more sativa or indica dominant
Sativas are probably best harvested with all clouded & hardly any amber because you are usually wanting the cerebal type stone
Indicas however you usually pick when they have around 20% amber for the full indica effect
