Should I harvest my plants now?

Ok so I have 2 plants one I think is ready to harvest its been in flower for 8wks and 2 days. It bagseed and seems to be a sativa with its thin leaves. Its under 180 watts of t5 high output lights and another 4 42watt CFLs. By the pictures which didnt come out good should it be harvested now. Id say from what I can tell the middle buds look ready at least 50% red hairs. Now the lower ones still look premature and have very little red hairs and just white. The top of the cola also looks to have more white hairs then red and not as mature as my center nugs, why is this that the plant is maturing at different stages. Here are some pics of both plants. And if not ready to harvest how much longer do you think?

not even close. its not about red hairs. red hairs have NOTHING to do with it. don't even think about harvesting until its way more buddy, it should get quite thick and fluffy. harvest is when the calexes swell up at the end, then you time it to when the resin glands become mainly amber, not just cloudy. the more amber the more body load. you want at least %50 as sativas are speedy anyway. way longer growing than indica too.

At the very least 2 more weeks. Thank the sativa.
