When do you guys like to start a dry hop after putting wort in the primary?

I primary for 3-4 weeks and then bottle, and usually dry hop for a week, so I start dry hopping after 2-3 weeks.
But you can start as soon as the air lock doesnt bubble as much if you are in a rush or gonna dry hop a long time.

Like Shift said, Wait until airlock activity stops and then you can dry hop anytime after that. Usually a week prior to bottling gives my IPAs best flavour.

I usually let it ferment for 2 weeks and check the gravity. If it's done I'll put my hops in and let it go up to 10 days. It's generally advised not to dry hop longer than 2 weeks because you can start to pull some off flavors out of the hops.
3-4 weeks in primary and than I rack to a secondary. Dry hop for a week and then cold crash before kegging.
