Hi Yep those look very sativa like, Slowest flowering strain on earth. Trick is to start them a lot earlier. Even use a cold frame in early spring. Some varieties take almost 10 months to mature.
Since you started so late the yield will be smaller than it could've been and possibly be smaller less dense buds too.
Purple stems can be a lot of things, genetics, cold night temps, nutrient imbalance.
Curling tips? up or down? Could also be a lot of things. #1 Overwatering, be sure to let the plants dry a bit between waterings, rule of thumb is let half the root zone dry before watering again.
Over fertilization is next, followed by insects and fungus.
They may grow to 10 feet or more but would've grown taller had you started earlier, like 14 to 16 feet...did you take clones from the females!!? Keep them vegging and pinched till next spring eh!
