Hi @TestOfOath,
I’m not sure the science is clear on the specific relationship of trich color to THC content. Anecdotal Bro-science says Clear = Cerebral, Amber = Body and that seems to be true but exactly why remains a mystery until detailed analysis (liquid chromatography) becomes cheap and ubiquitous.
I once tried to raise funds for a series of quantitative analyses to see exactly how the THC/CBD/CBN composition changed as a set of buds ripened from Indica & Sativa dominant strains. Unfortunately the cost was too high for my group to pony up.
Personally, I’m not looking for CouchLock but us Old folks like a little pain relief along with our Buzzzz. 
Perhaps the OG Brain Trust has better Intel on this?
