What percentage of the plants should I harvest today?

Chop it all, too late now that you have started..........partial harvests never work as well as expected in my experience.

First, check the trichomes. These are the tiny, crystal-like structures on the buds. When they're mostly milky white with some amber ones mixed in, it's harvest time. Next, look at the pistils – those little hairs on the buds. If most of them have turned from white to orange or brown, that's another sign. You can also tell by the swelling of the calyxes, the tear-shaped pods that hold the buds. When they're nice and plump, it's getting close. Finally, the leaves will start to yellow and curl as the plant nears harvest let's talk about the trichomes. They're like tiny, mushroom-shaped glands on the buds and leaves, and they produce the cannabinoids and terpenes that give cannabis its effects and flavor. When the trichomes are mostly cloudy white with some amber ones mixed in, it means the THC levels are at their peak, and it's harvest time. You could also look at the overall appearance of the plant. If the buds are dense and firm, and the plant seems to have stopped growing taller, that can be a sign it's ready. Some growers also say the plant's aroma gets stronger and more pungent as it nears harvest.

You're right to hesitate – the trichomes show a wide range of maturity. Some tops look close to ready (mostly cloudy, dense), but others are still early. Best move? Selective harvest: take the most mature colas now, and leave the rest for 7–10 more days. That way you maximize both ripeness and yield.

If you’re seeing a big difference in trichome maturity, you can harvest in stages, sounds like that might be your best move here. Take the most mature tops now, then give the rest a few more days to ripen up. Compact and heavy buds are a good sign, but no need to rush the rest if they’re still pushing. I’ve done staggered harvests a few times, lets you dial it in without second guessing. See you around growmie ✌️♥️ 🤞🍀♥️

Hey there if make than 60 to 70% the hairs have changed then you will be good to go 90% is the golden zone but if most the hairs change your fine to harvest can’t see the tricombs in the pic you gotta look at the heads on them Good luck don’t worry to much you can harvest stuff like 2 weeks early and will smoke fine
