To tell when they are ready for harvest I'm going to get a 100x mag. scope from radio shack to look at the trichs. Its only 12$ and is supposed to work good for this purpose.

With that mag. scope I'm assuming we are looking at the crystals? What is a good percentage to harvest milky/amber?

Yeah, looking at the trichomes.

From the GROWFAQ:
"Harvest timing is a matter of personal preference. When the glandular trichomes are clear with very little, if any coloration, THC levels are at their peak with CBD and CBN both at levels that will not overly influence the THC with their sedative effects. Some prefer more overwhelming narcotic type effects, allowing the resin glands to cloud and begin to amber or darken to increase overall cannabinoid content. The resin glands appear and therefore will mature at different times. A compromise is made when determining the desired overall maturity level to harvest. It depends on the growers preference in effect and palate."
I'm fortunate enough to have more than 1 plant so I suppose I'll harvest one earlier than another and see what difference I can notice in the smoke, if any.

I'm looking more of a body high cause that high lasts with you throughout the day, plus it doesn't make you lazy or sluggish. A head high normally gives me headaches when I come down. So my Q is which one is which? Do I harvest early for a body high or head high. Or is a body high a late harvest. Ohhhh yeaaaahhhh!!!!! (had to go macho man randy savage) One other question too, which is the best way to harvest/cure? I have heard of the mid-humidity and darkness for 5-8 days, but this way will have shit all super skunky and smell up everything. Anyone heard/tried water curing? Is this a good way to harvest/cure so my apt doesn't get danked out.

Yea, I have the same question... I know the white hairs or whatever can be a different high. So you want like a 50 50 mix I believe. Never tried water curing, but I have read a lot of journals of people who have done it. I wouldn't risk it with my buds. I'm planning on sticking it out with the normal hang-dry and jar cure process. Being in an apartment though you might want to try something like water curing.

here an update with pics. Going into 6th week of flower and I'm guessing about another 2-3 weeks its chop time. I just gave it nutes, when do you think i should start flushing. the only thing is I'm not really getting a lot of trichs, but i do have some, and when flushing could a add molasses to the flush to add flavor. Not a lot just about 1/2 tablespoon. I have been adding about every third water, and this stuff works awesome, i just don't want my bud smoking like burnt sugar.
