Hey Stoner....The theory is...amber colored trichs produce the couch lock, cloudy trichs produce the head high, so 50% of each is a perfect blend....as far as manacuring...Id cut off the bigger shade leaves and leave the small or med sized ones to wrap around and protect your buds. I dont have much experience with harvesting...yet.. but This might help you.

get a cheap hand held microscope.......they 15 bucks at radio shack. You cant see the trichs unless u have one. when u look u will see the circles everywhere. practice practice practice and if ya have shakky hands.....lol...use the force and observe on the fly...all this will make sence when you have scope. Amber trichs is what you want.....
