6-8 weeks. You need a 30x magnifying utility to be able to tell exactly. You look at the trichomes (little THC glands around the bud spots)

if its outdoors,strain,light,nutrient uptake, all have an effect on the flowering period,but as a rule of thumb i always harvest when 75% of the hairs on the buds all over the plant begin to turn darker and wilt slightly, i have had some buds do this and some buds towards the stalk still growing nice white healthy hairs. Those i leave on the plant to swell and mature on their own time. P.S. this is my outdoor rule.

TO add to the equations...

Indica strains will flower to maturity in 50 - 56 days.

Sativa strains are closer to 60 - 80 days.
