As I mentioned above, I will need to harvest aroun...

Simple answer to your question. It will suffer quite a bit. You want as little clear trichomes as you can get. You want the cloudy ones. A week or so is worth the wait!

@TheBigMacAttack Hi mate 8 weeks should be pretty good for the Northern lights as it's not a long flowering strain I see in your comments you are worried about nitrogen deficiency I would not be worried mate as your plants will need very little in the way of nitrogen from now on They will be hunting for more Phosphorus and potassium to make those buds bigger. You could try a technique that is unproven but has sound theories that if you reduce the lighting time from 12/12 to 10/14 the plants can possibly speed up their maturation thinking winter is fast approaching. I't is worth atry if you are concerned your ladies will not be ready in time for the Planned harvest I hope I have been able to help you today and Good luck with the harvest
