By days or the calender, go on 12/12 for 63 days would be my educated guess.

I go by trich color.
 
could we see some pics of the buds like a big bud, and maybe a few calyx's mid close ups? :) :)
looks nice though!
 
imo id let em go 2 weeks, or untill you see some amber, but its all personal preference how you want your stuff..

i was at the same spot as u at 7 weeks, white/cloudy chomes i wanted some amber thinking it would just take another week and i didnt see anything till week 11-12...
 
Look at the trichomes. They will tell you when it is time to harvest. If you like a bit more of a head high if your trichomes are all milky colored then harvest them. If you prefer more of a couch-lock body buzz harvest your plants when the trichomes are all or mostly amber colored. If you want something in between harvest them when part are milky white and the rest are amber. If they are brown or turn brown you have waited to long.

Use the given flowering time for any seeds as a general guideline and begin checking the color of your trichomes at the earliest date given for flowering time of maybe even better yet begin checking them a week or a few days earlier just to be safe. But is it the color of your trichomes and your preference in high/buzz that will be the only thing that will tell you when the best time to harvest is.

If you do not have something to use to be able to view the trichomes to see their color the second best way to do it is to pick a small bud from each plant and dry it and test it. If you are satisfied with the high/buzz then harvest. If not the problem with that method is that you cannot be sure if it is too early or two late, that is unless you test your plants a fair bit before the shortest given flowering time and then is it almost certainly too early. If you are in the middle or later time period of flowering period maturity given and you go my sampling your bud you then may think another day or three will make them better but it may just be a case of they are as good as they will get and because you had hoped for something better or expected something better you decide to give them a little more time and then you will allow your trichomes to turn brown and then end up with less of a high/buzz so I would suggest that if you do not have something to use to view your trichomes that you purchase something and purchase it fast before it is to late and you lose out. They can be found cheap at places like Radio Shack. One that may work fine for you is only $12.99 and can be found using the link below.

When I said trich color, I meant trichome color. I did not understand your humping little smileys.There are cheap ways to look at the trichs.
Get a eye loop they use for looking at 35mm slides for cheap

VERY cheap at a Photo shop

or

For $13 at Radio Shack get:

to look at the trichs.
 
see the trichs in this pic:

and here is a chart:
TRICHOME HARVEST CHART

of couse someone that likes to argue, will argue with this post.

YOU CAN GO BY A CALENDER, AND IT WILL BE BETWEEN 8 AND 9 WEEKS FOR MOST INDICA.
You can buy a $13 lighted battery operated 10X microscope at Radio Shack to examine the trichs.
You can wait until all the hairs are reddish or browish or dark beer colored.

again, all the above are rules of thumb and many will argue this, but until you've done a few grows and learn any better, this is good advise.
 
By days or the calender, go on 12/12 for 63 days would be my educated guess.

I go by trich color.
sine the day i started flowering i started to mark it on the calender, i just counted how many days its been and its been 54 days so that's almost 8 weeks.

if u look at the 1st pic i posted and look towards the bottom of it u can start to see some amber thrichomes.
so i guess im gonna let them go for 1 more week before i chop.

what kind of camera? I have anew 8 megapix and cant seem to take closeups like that
i have a piece of shit camera, i don't think it even cost more then $100. i just zoom in as far as it can and put my magnifying glass in front of the lens then it takes a lil bit of moving the camera around before u can get a clear view to snap a pic.
