Before I get to my question... first some background:

I have always gotten my weed from one friend of mine, and he gets me Trainwreck shipped to him from California. From what I understand, Trainwreck is a *very* sativa dominant strain. I love it, especially for playing music, but nonetheless I would like to try an indica just to have something to compare too. The problem is, my friend can't get any other strain.

I've heard indicas are less of a "cerebral high" and more of a "body stone". So, I ordered seeds and am growing 3 Northern Lights and 3 Afgahns in my back yard right now. I want to experience this "body stone", so hopefully I'll get one female out of the bunch.

So finally, my question: I've heard that there is another factor involved in determining if a plant gives you a "body stone" or a "cerebral high". It has been said if you harvest when the trichomes are amber you get a body stone and if you harvest when they are clear you get a cerebral high, and you should shoot for when they are cloudy on the average.

If I wait until the trichomes are amber on these indica plants, will that get me more the the "indica" type "body stone" I'm looking to experience? Or should I just harvest when the trichomes are cloudy and just let the strain itself take care of giving me the body stone I'm looking to find?

Thanks in advance for any advice or experience you can share,
