I'm all about checking the trichomes with a scope. I also suggest harvest like 1 branch a week or two before you normally would, harvest most of it when you think it "ready" and leave a branch to get a week or two later. That way you can compare the smoke from the same plant and determine exactly what you looking for. Personally I try to grab when they are all milky and only a couple amber trichomes, if any. But I think everybody chasing their own high, so there isn't an exact time that is the best to harvest for everybody.
