THC content of trichomes as function of flowering time

Hi, I tried to do research on the Internet, but couldn’t really find anything …

The question is:

If you collect trichomes off a plant at various stages of flowering, assuming you have 100% trichomes and 0% other plant material / impurities (like premium ice water hash) what ist the percentage of THCA in it? And how does it vary per week.into flowering? The guess is 90% for “ripe” trichomes (you know, mostly cloudy, 5% amber …)

This intersts me since I will have to harvest my outdoor plants early. Very early. At around 6-7 weeks into flowering. OK, obviously there won’t be very many trichomes and these will be mostly clear. But what THCA-content can I reasonably expect?
