Just go ahead an eat salt with a spoon with this fats old members advice.

"Sativa dominate, 14 weeks if land race
Gtfo here with that, you've never seen a sativa if you think theres a chance this will go 14 weeks jesus christ. Sure it's probably a hybrid as most strains are... but it's not gonna take all that effort its right on track
Even tho there are many long running sativa (14 weeks and more)....There are many many short running sativa hybrids (which looks like what you are growing)

I've grew several of the hybrids here that finished the end of Sept.
There are always going to be different phenos of each strain. Even with the blue dream I had 3 phenos and all had different harvest times by about a 2 week diff. So if it says 8 to 9 weeks.... I always add 2 weeks on for safe measure. You should be fine tho.

Beautiful plant.
If you can, clone that because you know it grows great outside...

If you'll let me.
I was furious my first grow when I dropped a light and topped my only girl clean off from the sixth down to the fourth node. Ooops. (Now that's what I usually do)

First year I went outside to grow , slugs destroyed everything.(Need to check more than every two weeks)

I went outside the next year, a woodchuck family ate every leaf around this time (fence!)

As of last harvest , I had beautiful plants, 3, and lost half my flowers to bud rot.
Never count your nugs before they're dry, and cured.

A few years have gone by and now we have RIU and everyone here seems nicce and willing to help.
Good luck with that plant. I have a Green Crack CBD that's pushing 8 feet tall and we're just starting stretch, which is a very good problem to have!

I got an early vixen plant, I have been growing it since late February inside until frost was gone and could plant outside. Living in northern BC we get 16 hrs of day light. My plant has grown to 7 feet and the stock is roughly 3.5 inches.i only have couple months left of actual growing time before winter hits again and just wondering if my plant will be done budding or can I speed it up to the budding process ?
It should be in full bloom by mid august

I haven't looked Into bud rot .... guess I should do that any quick tips how not to get bud rot?
Spores are floating in the air. When it's wet the spores stick to the buds and grow. Fat, sticky buds that are closely wrapped around the stem are the worst. Some strains are better at handling it than others. Timing is key. You want to finish flower before the rain starts where you're at.

If your plants are close to home, you can shake them after a rain, or use a leaf blower. In the bush there isn't much you can do. But I will say that good IPM will help. Lots of times when you get bud worms, you will also get bud rot. So keep the worms away in important.

It's in a green house and I got fans and heaters all rigged up so all in all should be okay hopefully

You should honestly grow a sativa so you can learn what one looks like. I'm not the only member to say your wrong on your call. To even suggest this could be a landrace sativa is a joke. It's like walking up to a Honda an sayin to a group of people "ya I know a lot about cars, this is probably a Lamborghini" then someone says, bruh, this looks nothing at all like a lambo. So you call em a dick.
So again, heaping spoonfuls of salt with this guys advice...

If you have all that you are good to go.

If you do get any pm or mold then cut it out with sterile blade or scissors. Dip then in alcohol or use fresh blade each time you cut. Also wear rubber gloves and change every cut.

What happens is you go to cutting it out and you spread the spores.

What are your daylight hours right now? I'm not sure about that far north. When's your first expected frost?

Frost isn't always a killer. Most plants that are in the ground will handle several frosts.

I had a pure landrace Hawaiian sativa that went 16 weeks. It handled a couple hard frost down in the 20's.

Green house and heater helps extend your grow time. Only thing is that sealed green houses get quite humid.

Edit.

I took a second look. It looks like it has alternating nodes now so it's in stretch. Flower should be setting in good soon.

Its really touchy here to see when frost will come cause last year didn't get frost till late October but year before it was mid September

To keep frost off you don't have to completely seal a green house. Mainly you want a cover over the top.

It's not so much the frost. It how fast the plant warms up after.

It's getting hard to tell when frost will hit here. Some years I get away with long sativas and some I don't.

You will be cutting it close but should be alright with the green house and heaters.

if you've got a greenhouse, frost isn't a problem. cold temps are. if you can heat the greenhouse, you're good, if you can't, the first time it gets below freezing for more than 3 or 4 hours, you're going to start getting damage
