Premature harvest NL/BB - how bad is potency affected?

Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to read this, i'm really worried about the potency of the weed i've just harvested and need your opinion.
The strain is Northern Lights/Big Bud, and i was at day 40 when i was forced to harvest.
Parts of the plant looked mature; about 70% of the pistils on some of the branches were reddish, the rest clear (I don't have a pocket microscope).
But now I'm trimming all of it and having a proper look, and about 70% of the weed has 90% clear, even greenish pistils in some places.
I realise this is a really premature harvest, and i'm worried about how much the potency will be affected. I'm hoping it'll just be an "all in the head" high, but still strong...? Any personal opinions on premature harvests?

[edit] I should mention that I smoked the mature-looking bits and was very pleased. Is there any chance the less mature parts will be as strong?

It should give u a buzz but a very short mild one i had some early chopped buds and got me lil bit stoned for up to 30 mins max. What i would do is buy some good potent herb and mix it with the premature bud when rolling spliffs. If u use tobacco in ur joints/spliffs just substitute it with the premature bud.

Or you could use the buds and trim to make some hash there are very good methods available on this forum if i find an easy method will post the link to you. The choice is up to u hope u get the chance to finish the grow next time round.
