70 days for all would be an average 60 for pure indica and 85+ for sativa

Usually takes somewhere between 8 and 10 weeks - and as butterflykisses alludes to - it is strain dependent.

Get a pocket microscope so you can see the trichomes - they are the indicator of "doneness". Most strains trichomes start out a little red/brown or clear. When they start getting cloudy or opaque it is time to harvest.

you're welcome. I apologize if you know this but just in case you don't: the trichomes are not the little hairs --- they are the sugary looking substance on the leaves and buds.
