Are all terpines, thc, cbd, etc.. in the trichomes and no where else? If so, what if i had only clear trichomes and i harvested? no thc? I normally wait till mostly cloudy and cut. I try to wait for a few ambers but why?
Milky trichomes is when plant is ready, than, as any fruit, you can like it more mature (amber) or not yet ready (clear)
Clear trichomes have less THC, amber should give you a different and more complete high, personally I harvest when milky because I have not so much patience and I want avoid mold or more insect problems at the end of growing 💪🏻💚
Im not trying to step on toes but I’m pretty sure amber trichs do not have the same thc content as fully cloudy/milky trichs. It may not be a huge difference but that ambering is the beginning of degradation of the THC into a different compound (CBN) with much different effects than THC.
So yes letting more amber trichs form will have a somewhat different high, but it’s less THC than harvesting when there’s the most cloudy/milky trichs
Harvesting with clear trichs would have little thc in them.. and yes I believe almost all the cannabinoids are in the trichs
