Any suggestions on how long till harvest?

This is a picture of my baby here, I was told that this Purple Kush strain had a flowering time of 6-7 weeks, although she doesn't look like any pictures of purple kush that I've ever seen. This one here has been flowering since April 5th, 6.5 weeks ago, however I only vegged her for about 2 weeks, so I think flowering was delayed a little bit.

I have a low power magnification lens that I picked up at walmart for a couple of bucks, I don't have cash to get anything more right now, but the trichs look like they're starting to turn cloudy. But I'm not quite sure how much more time she'll need.

(Picture quality isn't the greatest, took it with a cellphone)

I'm hoping to cut her down soon for a couple of reasons. The first off is the smell is overpowering and i've had several questions from neighbours already. The second one being that I need the grow space for something else at the moment.

Thanks, should I begin flushing now then?

This is my first grow, so I'm playing this by ear mostly, but I've been using a "slow-release" capsule with an NPK of 10-15-10. My plan was to pull the capsule out of each pot, and then just feed plain water to it a week before harvest. Should that be enough?

Hey,,

your trich maybe cloudy but your seed bracet still have to swell. and if those pics are gone off you probably have another 2 weeks or so yet. Mainly because those pistils still have to swell the bract.
For leaching Id start by removing the slow release nutes out and flush maybe 10 days to a week before harvest. Those white hairs(pistils) have to start to brown, and the majority should be brown not white when harvested. When the white hairs are turning brown at the bottom of the bud faster than they are growing out of the top.

Also another tip is to take the flowering time as rough, very rough guide as thats stated for optimum conditions.
Anyhow take it easy and dont rush it. youll get more bud if you wait.

Alright. Thanks for all the help! Just need to figure a low cost solution for the smell in the next day or two then. :)

So this was my first real attempt at growing.

I pulled the 3 small flowering plants that I had, (they were each about a foot tall), and I managed to get around an oz, wet. I am hanging it to dry now, however I sampled a small nug, weighing about 0.15g's (still fairly wet), and it is like the first time I ever smoked. I can't believe how potent it turned out :). I feel almost proud of it.

Thanks for all the help.
