Harvesting on Trics...

hey all I was just wondering how much the ripeness of the trics will affect the high of the bud. I mean i know the more amber the more CBD= couchlock body stone and the more clear/milky = cerebral high, but how much does this interfere with the genetics of the plant? Say I grow out a Hawaiian Snow plant and harvest when the trics are at say 70/30 amber/milky. And I also grow out an Afghan Kush, but harvest very early in the window so most of the trics are clear or milky with very few amber. Would the kush be more of a "high" than the snow and would the snow be more of a "stone" than the kush?? lol highmans thoughts just seeing what you guys thought. Peace!

Sativas tend to not naturally go over 30/70 amber/milky and indicas over 70/30. Trichomes, I've noticed, change in a very unscheduled way, so in 2 days you could see a change from milky to amber in an indica, or in 3 weeks the change from milky to amber in a sativa.

But your question is really good. I'd have to say that the answer is "depends", because the color of trichomes only reflect CBD, and the high is produced by a synergism of many many other cannabinoids.
To exemplify, you may have a Hawaiian Snow with milky trichs, but those milky trichs have in them alot of the cannabinoids that produce the stone effect through CBD, since the production of these cannabinoids is of high importance to indicas, yet not many ones that produce cerebral high. Because it doesn't have much CGD or cannabinoids that produce the cerebral effect, you just end up with a low potency bud.
On the other hand, say you have a sativa with amber trichs. Within the milky trichs it already had the cannabinoids necessary for the cerebral high, and now, in the amber ones, it also has CBD, yet not so many cannabinoids that can use CBD to mediate the body stone effect. Essentially, you end up with a cerebral high accompanied by a mild body stone.

Hope this makes sence to you. This is jsut a presumption, so it may contain errors. The problem is that more research is needed to discover all the cannabinoids and their effects, individually and combined.
