It depends, some strains start earlier or start later than others when outdoors even though it might be a 8-10 week strain. You would be harvesting from beginning april to about now.. depending on the pheno.
It is not as clear cut when putting plants outside as opposed to flipping the switch on 12/12. Different inherent genetics respond to the different shortening days differently for example. I have a skunk1 mom that will flip when the light gets to down 13.5 hrs outside, but will flower for 8 weeks, my 4 widow moms from same seedlot will start flower from a week before the skunk to two weeks after the skunk and flower for 9 weeks. They will finish at the same time as the skunk to three weeks after outdoors but in an indoors would all be just a week, if that, longer than the skunk. Tell your friend to get a loupe and check the glands for readyness.
I'm interested in any details about the smoke if you got/get any, and also where is the widow from? If you have any closeup shots or descriptions to share, please do, I'm exploring the widow lines now looking for my mom of old for breeding with.. She was out of an old sensi pack from 2004/5 and were exactly the same as the plants out of sensi beans that I grew from '99 but the 2011 ones are definitely different. Dank, uniform, mold resistant and excellent breeding tools but still i'm looking.. Shit the good moms I've lost!
