In the case about your type of high, the longer you wait the more couch lock you'll get. The longer you wait the more amber trichomes, the more amber trichomes the more couch lock, also if you like couch lock, go for a more indica dominant strain. These ingredients will create (what I think) the perfect high for you. Also this recipe is great for relieveing abdominal cramps and PMS.
I'm not sure why many females don't grow, but I've always heard and believe that females grow better cannabis, its something about the female connection as we are trying to grow the best female plants. MzJill from TGA (www.breedbay.co.uk) would be more than glad to lend a helping hand to another female grower. Shes avaliable most of the time in the chat room there.
And yes, growing indoors durning the winter will reduce the threat of bug attacks. Infact the only time I can grow indoors is durning the winter, for some reason theres lower humidity and bugs aren't a problem not to mention the cooler temps will really bring out lovely colors. (by the way I grow in my basement) Happy to help.
