When bulking, how much fat gain is to much?
I've been bulking for 8 weeks now. I just now am going back to light wieghts, high reps for a week before i go back on for another 8 weeks of bulking. After that i'm going to start to cutting again. But my problem is i thinking i gaining to much fat. I didn't do a Body Fat % before i started. But i can tell. I've gone from 170pds to 192pds. When will it be to much fat?

You should get your bodyfat % checked. Other things you can look for, how do you pants fit around your waist? Are they much tighter? How do you look in the mirror?
When is is too much fat is totally up to you. How much are you comfortable with? Remember that when you want to lean down that it will be alot of work dieting and doing cardio.

i'm at 18% and i think that's too much
the only thing is, everywhere else on my body looks fine imo except for my midsection... i have a feeling this last 6-10% is going to be a pain in the ass to lose...
i'm either going to start taking an eca product before training or am going to start doing cardio again... i really don't want to do cardio though... takes so much time away from the weights and i just don't like being at the gym for that extra 20-30 minutes after a long day of work... i might just not even worry about it until the new year...

IMO, I would go with the cardio over the ECA stack. Cardio is very effective at burning fat and while the ECA stack gives you an initial jolt to the fat burning process, your body gets used to it after a few weeks and it doesn't last that long.

i had orginal lost 50 pds, then i started working out and dropped another 20, but had also gain some mucsle. I had went 220 -> 170pds. I entered into a compatison at my Local Gold's Gym. 1st Prize was a free year membership. So i figured sense i was wokring out i might as well try it. I ended up wining. Going from 175 -> 162pds, and 16% body fat to 12% in 3 months.
Because of my wight loss i had to get new clothes, which i did about a month B4 i started bulking. Right now a few of the paints i bought are getting tight. At first it wasn't that bad, but now it's getting tight. I can tell my problem area (Love handles and mid section) are slowly filling. I mean slowly, it not like i'm going back to what i was like (220). But because i had alot of wieght around that area, it's coming back there faster. Top and botton 1/2 of my body are fine. just the mid section.
I probably haven't been keeping track of diet like i should. I've up'd my complex carb intake. Been eating whole wheat breads and brown rice. I just switched over to yellow rice because i needed a break. I've cheated a lot more than i've use to. I know my strenght has grow, acutally it's shot way up in the past few weeks.http://a7.cpimg.com/image/71/6F/17153137-84d9-01780200-.jpg
