Pure sativas and highly predominant sativas reach maximum THC potency when the trichomes are still clear. It will max out just before clouding occurs so it is best to harvest them at the first signs of clouding.

But many people call any cross that is over 50% sativa a sativa and unless a strain is upwards of 80% sativa or higher you would want to wait until you see mostly cloudy trichomes with some amber trichomes and possibly with a few clear trichomes left.

I grow mostly sativas or sativa dom crosses and like Brick Top says not really past mostly cloudy with some amber here and there. I just cut one Sunday that was about 20% clear 78% cloudy with the random amber, but that is just my liking. Allowing the sativas to go long into cycle just takes away the get up and do something high, I grow an indica for the I just want to play tatter tot.
