the little white tricomes and when they are beginning to turn brown up to about half of them brown is optimum. There is no benefit from letting them go completely brown as you will then lose the thc. Too clear, too soon, but better too soon than too late. Enjoy. You might read up on the process at the I Love Growing Marijuana website. They have all the info with pictures. They also have fab seeds.
