First time outdoor noob in need of advice and answers/harvest time

G'day RIU.
I've been lurking here for ages and have got pretty much everything setup for my indoor grow by reading through every aspect of growing on this site however it is an outdoor plant that I germinated from a premium outdoor mix I ordered that I need help with.
I germinated nine to start with, this is the only survivor out of all of them due to carelesness and impatience.. it was also the first to sprout and strongest of the bunch!
I think I planted in september/october, it smelled a little in veg but not so much after the first month.. it's now heavy into flower ( I think, and still not smelling all that much, is this normal?)
I have been watering and feeding with dynamic lifter and some miracle grow stuff but recently started using some canna nutrients that I have ready for my indoor grow, apart from that it's 100% organic, sitting in the vege patch which is always turned and dug over with horse manure.

I really just want to know how far this may be from harvest, what strain it may be and how healthy it looks..
It's currently 5 foot tall and the picture is of one of the uppermost colas, I have a half dozen of these that are showing that nute burn look...
It's looking a bit weird and constricted in the full pic as I had a tarp wrapped around it due to very, very heavy winds (almost lost half the plant last week but managed to tie the break together and it's showing no signs of impending death to that limb).
I've got a 40x loupe coming to check the trichromes, going for about 50/50 as I have chronic back pain and like the stuff to put me to sleep.
The pistils of most buds are starting to go darker at the very top but the rest are very white which leads me to think I'm still a way off harvest?
Grow location is Australia...
Cheers in advance.

Wish I could help, only organics here. But I thinke she looks real nice overall should get yourself a nice harvest.

Ok, almost 3 weeks later and I got a 40x loupe to check the trichs... really hard to tell but I think I'm at about 90% cloudy, 10% clear... I'm going to wait til I see some amber forming to be certain i'm not chopping to early. Got a cheapy 60x-100x magnifier coming from eBay to see if I can get a better look.
Only about 50-70% of the pistils have darkened and curled.
Plant is 5ft x 5ft x 5ft and appears to be sativa dominant, topped once at about 1ft tall and has 3 mainish looking colas and a lot of side branching.... anyone care to take a stab at the yield? I will post dry weight once I have it.
:)
Getting all excited for my first harvest, don't want to fuck it up! Planning on making cannabutter and a shitload of cookies from all the trimmings.

Also forgot to mention that most, if not all the fans leaves are yellowing or dead and I gave it a good feed with seasol and powerfeed a couple of days ago and a couple perked back up... is flushing possible/required for an inground grow?
