Hey i was jsut reading through the FAQ because my plant is almost done and i need to know what im looking for. On the guide though it says that a milkcloudy trichome will give you a high and an amber trichome will give you a stoned.

All I am wondering is what comes first the amber ones or the milky ones or does it vary from plant to plant?

trichomes go from clear, to milky, to amber
good luck

From my experience, first they are clear, then they turn milky, then they start to turn amber. I usually snip a little bud when all are cloudy and if the buzz is not what I am after...I let it go a bit longer. Cloudy tends to be a more "up" soaring high vs the couchlock type when most are amber. I find it is really up to personal preference.

im going to try and get both of them in there. will all the hairs be red by the time it is ready as well? or will there still be the white ones around when its time to cut? I tried reading up on this but i didn't get a clear answer
