I am planning on harvesting my thyme. The thyme plants, 7 week-old since planting (seed pod going in a hydroponic system), are short and tiny compared to other herbs. I'd like to harvest some sprigs and still allow the rest to grow. Where/how should I cut? Should I pinch off whole stems where they branch off or should I keep some vital parts for regrowth?
Edit:
Please see photo below. Don't mind the basil behind. I know the thyme is being overpowered...
