    It’s definitely a little bit of both. I know for a fact heavy leaning sativas just don’t want to turn Amber. They’ll get milky and they’ll just stay milky while the rest of the plant degrades. If they were outdoors they’d be subject to the temperature swings to increases and decreases of moisture. Bugs mold mildew and all the other fun stuff that goes on in nature. That would definitely cause it to Amber up sooner but if it’s indoors and it’s happy and you’re giving it love and nutrients and water it’s going to stay as healthy as it can be for as long as it can be. Indica’s tend to amber off sooner than sativa dominant varieties. I remember my Tandy was supposed to be a 70-day cultivar and I was there until day 110 waiting for Amber trichomes and I gave up. She’s an amazing smoke, all milky, no amber but man she’s great for bedtime. There’s still so much to be learned about this amazing plant which we’re only going to start doing now, now that it’s legal.
