Romaine, or Cos lettuce,can be harvested when the head is neither too 'squishy' when pressed or really hard. Somewhere in-between is right. They would have over 30 leaves by that stage. If Romaine lettuce is left too long it will be bitter, so err on the side of under-readiness if in doubt.

Pick it when the head feels quite firm to the touch. It shouldn't 'give' too much. It should be in a ball shape underneath the outer leaves.
