Should I flower now? Time constrained... Please help...

[boulderrr]

My plants are about 3 weeks old. They have about 8 nodes each. I'm probably going to have to leave town for a while in 56 days (8 weeks). If I start flowering on Thursday, will I be ok to harvest by around December 20? I don't know what strain my plants are. There are definitely at least two different types though. I can tell by looking at the leaves. I'm not looking for a huge yield. I just don't want these to end up being worthless when I have to leave. Thank you SO much for your help.

If you have to, it shouldn't hurt. I've started flowering my plants anywhere from 6" to a foot without any issues. I beleive that the 6" plants had only 3 pairs of nodes. Some were in soil but most of them were hydro. For the hell of it I think I flowered some 4" plants and they turned out fine too. I was using some intense lights though.

start flowring now, your better off having a small harvest than no harvest, or a harvest with budrot or somthing when you leave town, I actually started flowering 2 days ago. i know it will be close but ill work it somehow.
