Meaning of trichome coloring

In principle, they are all of clear colour, then they become cloudy and end up by being of amber colour.

Clear Trichomes: The trichomes of this color is the sign that a plant is not ripened. It’s better to wait before harvesting except you want to harvest a herb without effects.
Cloudy Trichomes: This color indicates that the resin starts to ripen. A plant with the most of cloudy trichomes will have an uplifting and energetic “High” effect
Amber Trichomes: If the glands are of this colour it’s a sign of full ripeness of the trichomes. The “stoned” effect of this resin will be rather narcotic, relaxing, and can become soporific.

To give you an idea, we generally speak of the percentages of the glands of one colour or another:

70% Cloudy – 30% Amber: Uplifting High Effect
50% Cloudy – 50% Amber: Balanced Effect
30% Cloudy – 70% Amber: Stoned Effect
