Use the trichomes as your guide. Go buy a 60x jewellers magnifying glass. Look at various buds on the plant. The lower buds and upper buds may mature at different times. Lower buds usually mature first and the upper buds come after.
Look at the trichomes (resin heads) and look at their colour and clarity. Just like a jeweller looks at a diamond, or same idea. You want to see 70% cloudy, 20% amber, and 10% clear. Thats when you harvest. Your lower buds may be mature right now whereas the upper needs more time. You can harvest in stages there's no harm in it.
