amber/cloudy yield difference

I was just wondering if anyone would happen to know if there is any yield difference between say 100%cloudy & 50% amber trichomes? I'm sure a lot is strain dependent, but just on average. Thanks in advance. :peace:

Yield is measured in weight not with trichome maturity.

You should harvest when you have 95%-Cloudy 4%-Clear 1%-Amber. If you let the trichomes degrade (turn amber), you're just asking for couch lock.

haha, i think i feel what you are saying op. there probably won't be much yield difference if you wait, they might swell up a bit but i would cut for the high your looking for because the yield difference will be negligible

I realize that PW. I'm asking if there's weight difference between buds say with 100% cloudy trichomes then buds with 25-50% amber? Also, I thought for indica dominant you would want a higher % of amber and cloudy for sativa. Is that not right? Is the above ratio for all strains/genetics? And thank you for the response PW.

Amber (degraded THC) trichomes don't cause couchlock but rather a false couchlock/muddy high.If you want true couchlock,grow a pure indica or a hybrid that is more indica than sativa.

Whether it's Sativa or Indica,you want as close to 100% cloudy/milky trichomes as possible.

Thank you for saying this. High is strain dependent. The only thing you do by growing it out to have tons of amber trichomes is waste a lot of good thc/cbd
