Say Shepard doesn't arrive with the caverly or anything how long would you give each species.
Humans-1 Month (surprised), Turians-5 months, Krogans- 2 Weeks, Qurians-3 Days, Salirians-3 Months, Asari-3 Months, Elcor-Forever (Not even the Reapers could resist an elcors charms)

[Mr.House]

Well we know Earth falls second(Batarians get beat first) and the Reapers continue going North. It's funny, but the last race would likely be the Quarians since they are very far north and are mobile.

[Red Panda]

Elcor have a very small military.

In resigned declaration: I do not believe Elcor will survive the first week of attacks against them.

Galactic location may be of favor.

Naah, Asaris would be longer. Sometimes when they become matriarchs, they like to go into isolation... sometimes, I think I remember reading. Making them hard to find, also, based on the fact they were the first citadel species, they would be the most far spread I would imagine, The others aren't too far off. Except Turians, I think they wont last the longest, as awesome as some people like to think they are.

Just because they can put up the best fight probably, just means theyd get more force from the reapers, plus I get the feeling Turians are a very 'close to home' kind of race. Don't seem to hear much about Turian colonies.

I hope the asari are last by virtue of my not looking forward to fighting those nasty-sounding asari husks. Bleh.

[Clonedzero]

it took the reapers hundreds of years to kill off the protheans and that was with being cut off and isolated. i think the reapers are going to have a tougher time this time around.

[Rake21]

The Volus homeworld will hold out for 18 hours, 27 minutes, and 7 seconds... give or take for wind resistance.

[almighty1]

Thinking about it, wouldn't Krogan last the longest. They can survive nuclear winters for one, they're also spread out across the galaxy, they're everywhere but their home world, obvious exaggeration but still. Where aren't the Krogan? They get hired by mercenaries and so are just floating around in space on derelict ships in some cases, some would be totally off the radar, they'd get away sort of how Ilos survived, because they went off the radar.

Okay and to add on for how long last I mean for there to be less then 1,000 of the population are left or the society falls

We could just run and hide.
Besides there are MILLIONS of humans that don't live on Earth.

I think the Hanar are gonna surprise everyone:

"This one will now reveal an Enkindler lance of illuminated purity."

Yeah, but the OP was referring to how long a planet would last, not how long a species scattered everywhere in the galaxy would. Just for the heck of it I'll speculate and say that the following is how long I think specific planets would last before almost all, if not the totality of the "indoctrinable" life forms of the said planet would succumb to it, or on the other hand how long it'd take before the Reapers simply wipe out most, if not all life forms on the surface:

º Earth - Around 2 months until the "major" highly populated areas are wiped out/indoctrinated. Only a few hours or perhaps a day or two at most to get rid of the orbiting ships and stations (excluding reinforcements), however. The fighting/resistance on the surface could easily take months before most combatants and defenses are being mostly stopped/indoctrinated/killed/destroyed (globally, including temporary "survivors" camps, settlements, bases, both on the surface and underground). The very number of humans (and including aliens perhaps present and willingly or forcibly enrolled to fight for survival) in the billions on the surface wouldn't necessarily pose a threat per se to the Reapers but would certainly take more time for them (and their indoctrinated pions) to "finish it" compared to most other planets.

º Khar'shan - 1 Month, or 2 at most. Similar to Earth generally.

º Thessia - 2 Months, or maybe 3 at most. Actual fighting on the surface could last longer than on Earth mostly due to the ability for all Asari to use biotics (at whatever extent they can individually speaking). Generally speaking I wouldn't see Thessia lasting much longer than Earth though.

º Kahje - One week or two at most. About 90% of the surface is water, only Drell survivors and Hanar present.
º Dekuuna - Very unlikely target for Reapers, but if attacked I'd say no more than a month or so.

º Sur'Kesh - About a month. Salarian's military doctrine based on "Win a war before it begins" ideology, and they won't bring the war to the Reapers first, the Salarians will be taken by surprise or before preparations are ready, which they aren't trained for. I would guess that the "resistance"/fighting on the surface could still take weeks, perhaps one month, not much longer than that however, unless others come to help...

º Palaven - From what we know it seems that most of the population, perhaps including military personnel is being or has been mostly evacuated before the Reapers' arrival. If the Reapers still have to wipe out what "remains" of the defenses (perhaps fixed, automated defenses) and life forms on the surface in general I would guess that it wouldn't take more than a week or two mostly due to the absence of real military opposition from the Turians alone (at least directly while the Reapers are on the surface). The lack of Turians (in great numbers, due to the evacuation, if done in mass) on the surface would at least slow down the efficiency of the "indoctrination"/"suppression" process of the planet by the Reapers. If on the other hand the Turians only evacuated the "civilians" and all the military remained to defend the planet from orbit and on the surface however then I would take a wild guess and say that it'd still not last longer than other major homeworlds like Earth or Thessia, maximum two months or so.

º Irune - The Volus depend on the Turians for defense, they (Volus) do not posses any forms of military, only mercenary forces could provide defensive abilities which would be wasted if attempted to be used against the Reapers. The planet itself is unlikely to be targeted at least not during the first months of the Reapers invasion but might be targeted later similarly to Dekuuna. Given enough time most, if not all Volus would have been evacuated already when Reapers finally arrive (that is if they Reapers didn't get there as fast as they arrived on other planets). If the Reapers come at a time when most Volus population is present then not much would change anyhow. I wouldn't give either the planet itself, the life forms on it including the Volus any more than a few weeks or a month before being dealt with.

º Rannoch -  In the case that the Geth in general, or at least the Geth present on the planet's surface and on orbit as well happen to side with Shepard and the organic life to fight the Reapers, and provided that the Reapers do try to attack Rannoch under such circumstances then I believe that it would be the one planet that would take the longest to "conquer"/"control" out of all the planets concerned. The Geth would oppose the Reapers and whatever forms of indoctrinated beasts sent against them more efficiently than organic resistances.

The Geth don't need to breath, eat, sleep, they can remain dormant if necessary to avoid detection, they could survive simply by using stealth which would take a very long time for the Reapers and their pets to search and destroy. They also seem to posses or seem to be able to produce a large number of ships when necessary, they could have a large fleet stationed on the planet's orbit, but we don't know if that's the case, but it would certainly be so in my book.

Excluding the almost-assured role of the planet and the Geth themselves in the game per se I would take another wild guess here and assume that if the Reapers get to the planet soon after their arrival with the obvious intention to wipe out the Geth on orbit and on its surface then it would easily take at least an Earth-year to do that, if not more, unless somehow the Reapers decide to employ more devastating weaponry with massive area-of-effect damage capabilities, in which case it could dramatically reduce the time needed to achieve such a goal.

º Tuchanka - A planet of harsh environments that already barely supports life as it is. An unlikely "early" target for the Reapers if they are aware of the "biodiversity assets" of the planet, if not and if they do target it almost as soon as they get in the region it wouldn't take much time. Obviously only the Krograns could effectively oppose the indoctrinated pions sent against them, but only for a short time due to the lack of Krograns in numbers. They are already scattered in warring bands, and I would take another guess and say that despite the very presence of the Reapers and their indoctrinated soldiers on the surface that the Krogran resistance would still find any sorts of excuses to fight amongst themselves while the destruction and species wipe out happens around them. I wouldn't see the Reapers and their agents taking more than just a week or two to do most of the necessary work to "deal" with the planet, taking a whole month would be surprising but I guess possible.

º Parnack - Not much is known about it, but the Yahg (at least in adult form, from what we've seen from the Shadow Broker) seem to be very powerful individually-speaking. In general, I would guess that Reapers going for that planet would simply seek to indoctrinate such a physically formidable and intimidating race, I wouldn't see the Reapers wasting such resources by just wanting to shoot their beams left and right and destroy them for the pleasure of doing so. In the end I believe that the Yahg if present on the surface in great number (which we know nothing about) would fiercely oppose the Reapers' forces, for a time, until like many if not all other worlds they perish after weeks or a few months of attrition.

That's just concerning planets, that is. We could speculate and all come up with individual opinions about the species in general including their off-homeworld stations/colonies and such of course, but that isn't the main subject at hand.

I'm giving the Asaris a hundred years the fastest total domination or a Millenium on a real strong opposition, wich makes more sense considering they are all overpowered hot biotics.

earth will fall in a year or less. no need to try to understand why.

Turians the same.

Krogans are already far too weak, not even a Quarter year.

Quarians are auto sufficiant and mobile, plus they are in the great north (strong and free). They could live into Dark Space for a while before coming back, however if they are staying, I'm giving them 20 years of intense survival.

Time to kick asses and chew Bubble gum 

[Destroy Raiden_]

I give any world 1/2 of the game worth of time so if Earth is attacked in the beginning then halfway they're 100% doomed. If lllium is attacked midway through near end they're 100% doomed. If it was real life I'd say 1 year by that point any survivors left are in bunkers waiting for the reapers to leave and according to vigil those guys will be waiting along time.

[shnizzler93]

For me, I'd give Earth about 37 hours, but for other people 32 hours and others still 40+ hours.

The book's title is a reference to the run-and-gun style Steve Nash's Suns developed from 2004 to 2007, coming close to making the Finals several times.  The idea was that, on each possession, they'd score in seven seconds or less, focusing on fast breaks and three-pointers.  They sucked at defense but didn't worry about it, focusing solely on simply outscoring the other team.  Great team.  Critically acclaimed team.  Never won a ring.
