~ more important... what do the trichs look like?

Just this guy, ya know?
Nah you need to get a jewlers loupe or a simple microscope or even a magnifying glass and zoom in and check out the trichomes to see what color they are. Those pictures are too far zoomed out, we need something like. And I think the rule of thumb is, whatever the breeders timeline + 2 weeks.
I'd let them go for maybe 2.5 - 3 weeks more. I like to see the pistils all brown and shriveled.
All brown it means stronger effects? Thank you

... if you want a "narcotic effect!
If I want a “euphoric” effect?

It's all about trichome color. Get a scope and scope them. If you are gonna be growing the same plants a while, I recommend taking an early sample, most of the harvest when you feel it is the best time, then leave a tiny bit to mature a little more. That way you can compare and see exactly which high you like best from that plant. I'm not sure I agree with the last pic though, 50/50 is kind of a big swing tbh, I try not to let them get past about 80/20 with the 20 being amber, the 80 being clouded.
What's to disagree with? It was an example of a cheap camera close up, not a when to harvest guide.
Leaving them longer, doesn't always mean a more narcotic effect. Getting it right for that plant is what matters.

I just meant I wouldn't wait for the trichomes to go 50/50 ratio is all, I've never purposely let it get that far. And I 100% agree it's what is right for each plant, plus what effect he's going for. There's never an exact time to harvest cause he might like a different smoke than you or me, so it's good if he figures out best based on each plant. Also that picture is a when to harvest guide, just do a google image search for trichome harvest or trichome harvest color.
Take some nugs, let em dry n cure for a bit. Let the rest go. Sample said nugs then harvest the rest in a couple weeks.
Should give you an indication as to how the plant ripens and its effects.
She will bulk up if let go longer. Most of the time you will get some great colors also.
Hard as hell for me to let a plant go to its full potential. Never hit a point that I wished I had harvested earlier

I bought it! Thank you!
I hope to give this plant a full potential! I bought it hulkberry seeds because it’s mainly Sativa with a 27/28 % thc! I would like to experience it with strong and euphoric effects
