I have three white widows which are hermies. They're in the 7th week of flowering now. I took samples and they have no potency. Is this normal?
 
Yes. WW doesnt mature until 9-11 weeks. Secondly, THC is not produced in the plant until after you cure it. BE PATIENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really can't say that enough. You have 2-6 weeks left of flowering...and then 2 weeks of drying and curing, AT LEAST.

But THC is not formed until you cure the buds. The longer the cure, the better potency and smell it will have.

This is false. The plant is producing THC during the entire flowering process. Hermies will be less potent by nature since it's not all female flower. The more male parts, the less potent. WW does take a bit longer than some, but at 7 weeks, you should be able to pull a nug off and get baked.
I had to start smoking my blue cheese at 30 days, and it worked well enough. Now i'm only 49 days in and I cut the plant down since I'm out of smoke and the next grow is ready to start anyway. 49 days is way too early for max yield, but it's pretty damn potent.
