ready to harvest? PICS of widow widow.

hey everyone, I need help! Any comments are appreciated!
These are white widows that have been blooming for about 2 months now but I didn't take care of them as well as I should have and they got in pretty bad shape (nutrient burned). Are they ready to harvest or should I wait more? I heard if you wait too late then the buds will lose potency. the last two times i watered them were flushes. For the past week, I went down to 8 hours light from 12 hours light. as you can tell from the pictures, most of the leaves have fallen off and died. Advice please!

they smell DANK and are super sticky. but if you notice on the top of the colas, there is new growth, skinny growth, but new growth nonetheless. check out pictures in attachments, Help a homie out! ONE LOVE.

wait maybe 2 weeks

Yeah if you chop now you will have some fluffy budski's. I'd say 2-3 weeks.

will the potency decrease? They have been blooming for a while now...

you've still got a few weeks. I'd start flushing with plain water NOW....I'm talking like a saturation followed by another saturation about 15 mins later. Then wait until dry and repeat. Hopefully you can dissolve and loosen up all that crap so it dont give you bad brain THUMP

yeah, i guessed that i should flush them with plain water from now on. i heard that with WW, for the last week, they should be put in complete darkness and that this would make them super dank. mine are currently under 8 hours, a friend said that this will make them danker too. comments?

way to green to be ww. wait until the buds are actually white to consider harvesting. 2-3 weeks

no give 12/12.........unless you want to wait even longer

The darkness thing is an old wives tale. Don't do it

dang it... i've been giving them 8 hours light a day... i'll switch back to 12 then.
