is this plant ready for harvesting or does it need help?

This is my first plant. I did not have a fan for a while so the buds started drooping and i tied em if youre wondering. The plant is about 8 weeks into this stage. The picture included are of the top nug.

Recently the plant has been drying out. As you can see in one of the pics, the leaves curl up. I even pinched a few leaves off a lower nug and they just fell off they were so dry. Too much light!? Also, some of the leaves that arnt nugs are kind of yellowish as you can see. some even had brown ewwy looking spots but those went away. I was thinking of replanting but is that even an option now if the soil has turned to crap?

Is this plant ready to be cut or is it still growing? At least the upper half i mean, the lower half is nowhere near ready. The hairs are pretty oranger brown.

Supposedly it was a white widow seed. Look like it? I'm not a pro. img 307/308 are right now. The others are about a week ago.

Ready to harvest.

The fan leaves are being used up, they usually look like that. More light is what you want for more bud. Good job on first grow!

It's as I feared then. I was hoping they would get bigger and only had a problem at the moment.

Last question, how do you tell when to put the nugs in a jar to dryout the interior moisture? Was going to do the hanging darkroom to jar technique I read about.

Hanging in a dark room (you dont need a fan unless you have 40 or so plants hanging in a closet) is the best way. Give them about 3-4 days of dry time, and when the stems bend AND snap, they are ready for jars. Put em in the jars, and just let them air out every week for a few minutes. Usually done via opening the jar and smelling it and going MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm then screwing it shut again.

Yeah they look about like mine do, mine are starting to use up fan leaves now and a lot of leaves are starting to look like they are being sucked dry. I started feeding in the last week or so with molasses so that's why, no nutes just molasses (plants been riding the edge of burn for most of the grow, trying to keep them as big as possible so I know the light green look to leaves is not because of lack of nutes). What week of flowering are you in, and how long does your strain normally flower for?

Both of your questions were already answered in his first post (8 weeks and 8 weeks)

My bad! Didn't see that...looks like you're about to be testing your product in a week or so, smoke report would be awesome! Congrats on your first grow brother!

Have you checked out the Trics on a Loupe or any magnification yet? I tried lookin at your pics, but.. trics are small. lol I do see alot of cloudyness going on but cant really see amber.

Have 10% of the trics turned amber yet?
