From what I have gathered the trich's are for telling THC, if you wait to long the THC will be kaput. Mix of amber and cloudy- THC optimal for using (highest levels) All cloudy- more like 75%. Clear- 50% or less.

As far as strains go my personal experience is this: I can be growing the dankest stickiest plant ever but if I do not harvest at the right time it can make all the difference in how the plant effects me. Of course how you grow it does alot too. The potential of the strain is probably what the breeder is talking about, THC production and what not.

I'm not an expert this is just what I think.
