I have 3 plants growing, they're Colombian, you know from the 70s. Anyways, I've had them outdoors since they sprouted in the ground at the end of March, they're now showing female preflowers and they just recently spit the pistils out, just a quick question as to how long it's going to take being in north Texas, to harvest. All help would greatly be appreciated.

It's hard to see the pistils but they're there

Outdoor plants run a life cycle from Spring til Fall basically. Some can finish in August but you may as well prepare yourself for Oct/Nov and then just feel lucky if it's sooner.

Oh no, I just happen to find a grower who has kept it up, its such a beautiful plant. They really love this Texas heat and for some odd reason the tops of the stems are red!!

I would prepare for those to get huge if thats a problem. They will follow the light schedule and be done in the fall when light is at the least. I'm not a total pro like some of these guys, but I believe the purple is an excess of nitrogen. Not certain though. Has something to do with the nutrients its receiving. Good luck.

Well, the nitrogen is the opposite because it had the yellowing bottom leaves and I gave it fertilizer high in N but the thing is, the stems have been red the entire life of the plant and the others from the same seed stash

Red stems are simply an indication that the plant is in a low nute environment, it is not a problem, nor a def, purple stems are genetic 8)

Take a look at the picture and see what you think and let me know, if you would.

Purple stems could be genetic it means nothing by itself. When you learn the strain it may or may not be a useful sign to follow though. Like if the stems normally go purple slowly but all of a sudden they went purple overnight. Like that.
