Hey guys, this is my second grow and it goes like i could't ever think... flawless for newb like me :D but anyways, it's in 38th day of flowering under 200 watt cfl (2x 2400k and 1x 6500)... The smell is very very veeery piney :D as you can see in the photo i'm running out of space :( and i'm tying it like a mad. So is it ready to be harvested? or if not, how much more should i wait? thanks in advance

Happy Growing

you still have a long way to go before harvest. post some pic's in 3 weeks and we will go from there.:sad:

patiences my friend it will be worth it.

8 weeks-ish is a good rule of thumb for general hybrids/bagseeds.. But like Ryan said, it looks like they still got 3 weeks or so left, at least. Most growers will get a magnifying glass and go by the trichome production & color. Your girl still has a lot to do, in the next few weeks those hairs will turn into nice juicy buds... A simpler way for a newer grower to tell when to harvest is to look at the pistils (little white hairs), when the THC production has peaked most plants' pistils will have turned an amber/orange color (sometimes strange colors with select strains but the point is-they turn into a color that isn't white anymore).. when around 80% of them have changed will be good. waiting longer will allow more CBD production and give a "couch-lock" effect (like an Indica buzz) and taking her down a bit earlier will produce less cannabidiol, which is what I prefer but everybody is different.
Either way you go, she still needs to fatten up for a few more weeks. Also, look up a good guide on curing, it REALLY does make a huge difference, quick-drying your pot will cause THC degradation. Good luck bro.
