When to flower?

When it fills half the space it has to fill. Itll stretch at least to double its size when flower triggers. Lst or low stress training can be used to control the growth. Get some string and read up on it. Its a great way to utilize the horizontal footprint of the light for the best yield.

These guys are right of course. Keep in mind just how much light power you'll be throwing at it in flower. It wouldnt do you much good to grow a 6 foot tree if all you have to flower it with is a couple of CFL bulbs or somethin'.

I waited until mine were 4 foot tall and well some stretched to 6 foot tall while others touched the ceiling and I had to bend them to 8ft tall. I have branches on one I call lefty that is 6 foot long.

"A plant will only tell you its ready to flower if its an auto" that is a incorrect statement...The first statement you made is very true when you flower directly corresponds with the height that you're limited to and the light of course...But if you have unlimited height and good light you can be 100% sure your plants are ready to flower when they start to show preflowers like I previously stated...And since I do a 60 day Veg from seed I almost always see preflowers before I begin to flower.

Do I prune in flowering, yes...In flowering I do what I call selective defoliation...I wouldn't suggest pruning or defoliation of anything if you are a beginner...You can keep the larger plant in veg until your other one is ready but if you do decide to do that you might want to LST the larger plant to keep it from growing way bigger than the other plant because in the end you want to try to achieve an even canopy meaning you want all plants to be the same height if possible.
