Harvesting a few hours after lights out?

So I planned on harvesting tomorrow morning, but an incident has come up where I am unable to. I know from reading around and experience that harvesting in the morning before the lights come on is beneficial for the taste and possibly the trichs.
So anyways I need to harvest tonight but my plants have had the lights on them all day already, lets say the lights go off at 6 pm and I wait until 9 pm to go in and chop, will this be any different than just chopping right now or will that be enough time for the leftover nutrients to sink back down into the roots? Anyone try this or have heard about this?
+rep for some quick help guys
THAAAAANKS!
 
you should be fine chopping whenever. I have also heard that harvesting in the morning hours is best and I'm not botanist but it would make sense seeing as tricromes are a mechanism of the plant to protect itself from the harmful rays of the sun which are most powerful in the morning (in a natural setting). Like I said im no botanist but I dont think the nutrients sink back down to the roots under any circumstance, at this point in the plants life it would be sucking up all nutrients to ripen its buds in a final attempt to get pollinated. If you need to chop tonight just do it, you'll be fine.
