I think that depends on the buds itās growing on.. but honestly even the purple buds Iāve grown have gone from cloudy to amber.. no influence on the bud color itās situated upon. I will say the darker(purple) buds are harder to get a good idea of whatās clear and whatās cloudy as far as trichomes are concerned.
I would just look for progression from clear to cloudy to something darker in the trichomes
