The sugar leaves drying up are not going to hurt you at this point, what are the trich colors photo is not close up hard to tell. But from this distance I say flush for ten days than harvest but really want to see a close up or a report on the trich color from bottom of top bud up?

Usually people harvest when the trichomes are 50% cloudy and 50% amber, have you looked at yours?

No, harvest when the trichs are cloudy and just start showing amber. Amber trichs = degraded thc. Stop giving advice man. Op: Keep in mind the trichs change while drying/curing also. Some strains the trichs change at different rates, I pull mine when I see even a couple ambers. Even when some of them are still clear and not cloudy yet. First sign of amber, done.

If you like getting high harvest when cloudy. If you like getting stoned harvest when amber. 50/50 is a good rule of thumb for beginners who havent honed in their technique or when growing for others. A grower can also use this knowledge to tame down an electric sativa or soften the KO punch of a heavy indica.

If you want to get stoned, get a strain that will get you there, same goes for a more flighty buzz. Letting the trichs go amber on a sativa dominant strain isn't going to get you a couchlock indica buzz.

50/50? Talk about missing the window of perfection.. 50/50 is over ripe. I harvest my Sativa/dom strains at 80% cloudy with little or no amber showing. Indicas maybe MAYBE 10% amber.
Those yellow sugar leaves can start rot happening in those buds, make sure your RH is below 40%. Nice looking buds, I'd harvest them as soon as they are 80% milky.
