What they said ^, you're almost there.
From here is a matter of personal preference. The last two weeks or so of flower are the peak window for harvest in my experience. People's opinions will vary on this subject. I always ask myself..."what's the ratio of trichome variants, has the swelling of calyxes slowed, and have the pistils begun to recede?" If your observations match what you're looking for, then your good to go.

Just FYI .....I'm a fan of the ((couchlock)) bud ...hence my name on here....anyways, it's actually harder than you'd think to get a heavy couch lock especially by accident.....most people who think they flower long enough for ((couch lock)) smoke ....actually end up harvesting at the perfect time .....all milky with amber heads showing up on the actual buds themselves,should do for you ...GL

Thanks, I'm really not sure what "couch lock" means from what I been told that it would make you sleepy. Not sure if it's true but I my self don't wanna smoke to sleep lol.
Please correct me if I am wrong, i am here to learn.
Thanks.

Yes, a good couch locker can make a busy freeway look like a good place for a nap ....However, it also has to do with strain ...some strains can be flowered for a super long time and never get like that...while others will always have that trait and it only gets stronger by flowering longer....
EXAMPLE--I'm an evening smoker for sleep...so I don't ever reach for a strong sativa before bed....The SSH I grow takes forever and a day to finish flowering...and it would never couch lock or have you ready to nap((quite the contrary))......but my OGK on the other hand,,always has a bit of that heavy body feeling....and that only gets stronger the longer it's flowered.....hope that makes sense..

Indacouch said it perfectly!
Think of being so high you don't want to get off the couch, as if you're locked to it. Hence, being couch locked.
I grow primarily indica's for their relaxing effect, so harvesting when the trichs are 90/10 milky to amber, helps to balance the heavy indica effect, with a clear more cerebral effect.

Lol, stuck in da couch off couch lock indica. Cool nick!
I've usually harvested at all cloudy trichomes and have all heady bud, but this next one will be some stuck in the couch for sure. Amber everywhere
