ive heard mixed things about the cloudy vs amber thing.
some people say that amber is no good, you want mostly cloudy because amber is just degraded thc. they claim that the effects (couchlock vs high) are not due to trichome color but instead genetics (sativa vs indica). ie, if you cut an indica with 70% cloudy trichs, it will be a couchlock, and if you cut a sativa with 70% cloudy trichs it will be uppity.
then there are some that say if you wait til the trichs are 50% amber you will get a couchlock indica, but if you grow an indica and cut with 10% amber you get an uppity buzz.
I'm really confused here...can someone with more knowledge than I chime in?
