Harvest Time?

OK, this is probably going to sound pretty stupid, but I am stupid anal about things anyway.
I have been checking the tricomes for over a week.
Last week they were mostly clear with some cloudy.
Have been checking at least two clusters on each plant, using a 45x lighted scope.
Have been monitoring the transition to cloudy, but was waiting to see some amber before harvest, thinking as soon as some were amber, the rest should be mostly cloudy.
One one plant I have one cluster with close to 10% amber, but that is only on one branch, and no amber at all on any other branches of that plant.
On the other plants I have only seen 1 or 2 ambers, with the rest about 50/50 clear and cloudy.
This is only my 2nd crop, but I assumed each plant would mature at the same rate at least.
Is there something I did that may have made one branch mature faster?
Should I harvest the entire plant or just let the one branch go past optimum?

Is this a common anomaly?

Thanks in advance.

Some say plants ripen top to bottom some say bottom to top. I've found in my limited experience that some branches do ripen first it's different for each plant and could be dependent on light etc . Always scope and if you have to take a branch at a time. Never harvest early as the weed will suck too long is better than too soon. Peace sdd

Didn't even think about harvesting one branch at a time.
DOH!
Thanks
