Looks more like early-mid feb but hard to see detail in the bud pics. 4th week of a 9-10 week flowering. 5 or 6 weeks to go.

Yea sorry my camera isn't good I'll upload better pics probably tomorrow. That's the thing tho, it started flowering beginning of October,that's when I noticed first stigmas, there's no way it's a 10 week strain. If it's truly 5 or 6 weeks left means it's a 4 1/2 month strain, that's insane

First 2 pistols growing together from a node is a sign of maturity, not flower. This is a mature plant that is not close to flowering. Do you know when those two pistols on the right node in the photo became 4? That would be day one of flower. Outdoor in soil would be anywhere from 8-12 weeks from that date depending on the exact strain.
I am assuming you are in the northern hemisphere. As long as you are and the day temps are over 65 you should be right with that mid jan date. From the pictures it looks vary green in the bud but it may just be the photo.

Hmm, that's a bad sign. With the brown stigmas showing (hairs) you should already be getting a good odor. No odor would mean very low resin production... i.e. very light on trichomes. This would mean low terpene and cannabinoid production... very low potency. You may have yourself some ditch weed there.
Do these swollen bracts contain seeds? Pinch 'em to find out.

No they don't contain seeds, I don't think there's any male plant for milesHmm, that's a bad sign. With the brown stigmas showing (hairs) you should already be getting a good odor.

Not like there's zero smell but you have to really get your nose up in there to perceive it. It smells kinda sweet and grassy little bit skunky
pure sativas take 3+ months to flower, there's plenty of time.
Being in the northern hemisphere might be confusing things. Where are you in the northern? Do not need an address just an idea of what country and maybe a large nearby city which can give an idea of how long the light and dark part of the days are. Also give an idea of temperatures.
From the beginning of October to the beginning of January is 3 full months.
I am wondering if the plant went into full flowering in October but by the beginning of November there just was not enough daylight to keep a decent rate of photosynthesis going and the plant's growth really slowed down. Some of the photos in message #6 look like the pistils have ripened and now there are very few new ones growing.

I'm in Nigeria, FCT. we get Temps reaching up to 38c in the afternoon, a bit cooler in the mornings at 28c. We have about 11 1/2 hours of daylight currently.

I actually fell like the strain might have something to do with it sadly I have no idea what strain
So basically I should expect a really bad yield!

Hey Drogo, you're at about the same distance from the equator as I am here in Hawaii, which means most cannabis will flower when mature year round. (EDIT: Correction... I think you are about 625 miles north of the equator. Hawaii is 1,375 north of the equator.) Yes, your day length is 11 hrs 36 min, and night length 12 hrs 24 min. Your current solar noon angle is low at about 58° (directly overhead is 90°). Night length at his location will continue to be over 12 hrs until March 7 when it reaches exactly 12 hrs and continues dropping. By April 12, the solar noon angle is 90°—the sun is directly overhead. At that time, day length is 12 hrs 18 min, night length 11 hrs 42 min.
So, you're not getting a lot of sun right now. Same as me here in Hawaii, but my solar noon angle is even lower at 45°. Regardless, your temps are still reaching 100°F in the afternoon!
Your plant is some kind of tropical sativa, and probably has a long life cycle. Some tropical sativas are in flower for 4 months or more.

Hey cbd Hemp, thanks for your reply and insight. Yes it's definitely a landrace. Can you tell when the harvest date will be just by looking at it, I'd like to get your opinion on that, thanks.
Truth be told the strain takes too long in flower, would love to get my hands on some auto flower seeds, if I could breed them with this strain I would definitely get a faster flowering strain with denser buds. alas it's extremely illegal here, I dont even know how to begin to order it, some sites promise discrete packaging but our would probably checks the packages.
Hoping to start an indoor grow by 25 hopefully I'd have figured out how to get them auto flower seeds by then.
