RDWHAHB....

General rule is 1 week primary, 2 weeks secondary, then bottle. YMMV.
 
With all of my wheats, the primary ferment is explosive. So, for me, its 2 weeks in the primary, one week in the secondary. Sometimes, its primary only. As soon as my target gravity is hit, its done.

American wheats, in my opinion and experience, are better off drank when young. German wheats are better after some time aging. My .02!
