Outdoor Update
Not the greatest news folks! Big Girl has developed a problem and has declined very rapidly. Her new growth has started getting dry leaf tips and turning brown. I took her outside earlier today and flushed a couple of gallons of water into her hoping to stop whatever is happening. In the process of examining her, I noticed something very unusual. You'll see it in the following photos.

Then I see this on her lower trunk

New growth coming right out of her stem an inch and a half from the soil! The spider web I believe is benign. They are floating on the wind all over the place. Please tell me if I'm wrong about the web!. But here I'm having major life or death issues up top and I get this new life down below! LOL . Big Girl is still a real piece of work!
The Runt Update at 13 weeks
Couldn't resist, for the first time ever, I have sampled the Runt. Microwaved a lower bud earlier and I have been stone all day since then! She is an amazing high, better I think than Big Girl. She worked fast and right to the point! Big time stoned. Wandered around in circles on the deck after smoking three hits Must have just mulled around for an hour, thinking about all kinds of things like planning my grow, which pots are available, should I tell my wife that I need to get another sack of Happy Frog! In the end I went inside, got the electric shears out and proceeded to cut my hair off! I had been wanting to cut it for weeks now. Went from medium long to a crew cut in under an hour. Oh ya, took me for ever! When I finished my shower I came out a hungry man, devoured some sloppy joes and a hot dog! Went out on the porch and rolled a joint with what was left of the bud. That was several hours ago and I'm about to drop right now! Great soaring high, different than Big Girls high. I'm happy that she came out like she did.
Now, big question, when should I harvest her? She's about 10% amber now, but not sure if she will get better or not? I wonder though, she has the indica bloodlines in her, but has taken so long to mature, maybe she thinks she's a sativa?
Suggestions on any of the issues here at hand? By all means folks, pipe in and give me your opinions or advise.
