This plant doesn't have much bud, I should've transplanted earlier but oh well, I'm not sure how long it's into flower. Just by the naked eye is there anyway to determine how much longer I should grow her ?
Just by looks how much longer does she have ?

You can clearly see the white pistols which indicate that they are still growing. Once the orange hairs wrap around the bud is when it is time to chop.
Most people go by the trichomes and all you have to do is google "when to harvest" and go into the image section its one of the first pictures. Shows a good transfer from not ready to cloudy to amber to half n half. The worst thing you can do is to chop her down early.

Biggest mistake is to chop too early. First white pistils form. Then they fill in to make the followers or buds. then they start to turn orange or red. Do not harvest yet. WAIT until after most of the hairs change color, the calyxes will swell adding much weight. Do not pick until you see the calyxes swell and the hairs RECEED or SHRINK back into the bud. That is the plant telling you it is time to harvest. Forget about trichomes and microscopes! Learn the stages the plant goes through, and watch for the visual cues.

So would anyone have an estimate on how long she will continue to grow ?

estimate is 4 weeks, and I wouldn't disregard the look of the trichomes. Depending on the high your looking for I would pay attention to that. The plant does tell you when finished but very many strains have 2-3 harvest windows.
also looks like you have bugs

get a 30x microscope and look at the trichomes. wait for at least a third of them to be a rich amber color or milky white. probably like 4-5 weeks left...

Yeah this plant is outside so bugs have gotten to it but it's not that bad

Is there any telling on how big the buds will develop within 4-5 weeks ?

You still have plenty of time, you should spray them with some kind of organic pesticide such as safer soap or neem oil.
