Ok so my plants are about 5/6 weeks, one is around 8 in the other about a foot,,, I have a very limited cab, 1 x 3 x 4,,, I topped the biggest one, the new tips are around 1/2 in,, the inner nodes, have alternating nodes already, , im gonna start a new grow with grade a genetic,, these are bagseed,,, my question is if I go ahead and flower these, how big can I expect them to get,,, I know everyone says double the size,, I would just like some imput,, should I go ahead and flower or wait a couple more weeks until I get my ff trio and more light,,, as of now I have 3x 20 wat 2700k, and 4x 4ft t12 40 wat each, mixed spectrum of 6500k and 41k or 43k I believe

What is your max height space ?
I think my average for stretch is 50% more on a plant under two feet--
1' grows to 1'6"
2' grows to 3'
etc...
sometimes more for an older plant...sometimes less...
I just had a 16" plant go from 18/6 to 12/12 and 13 days later and it has stretched to 23.5"... about average...

My flowering Critical Jack was about 8 inches, maybe less, when I started flower and she's at roughly 2 ft now. She's at 7.5 weeks flower now.

This is my first grow, I dont want to try any of those styles yet, lol barely had enough guts to top my baby but she looks amazing with two tops now, kinda debating to do the other or not, but I really just want to stick with cfl and my t12 for this grow, I plan on adding six or eight more cfl, mix of 13wat and 23wat, 2700k, and 6500k, and changing 2 of my 4ft tubes to 2700k

If you flower now expect the 8in. one to grow to be between 16-24 inches, the one that's a foot should be between 2-2.5 feet when finished...train them to be wider if you have height limitations. Do some LST if you're not comfortable with doing the SCROG method. Scrogging really has nothin to it, just set some chicken wire up with 2 inch holes...bend the wire over your pot about 4-6 inches above the canopy, spread em out as far as you want them

Not wanting to try those styles is understandable, but an LST isnt hard. SCROG looks cool, Bul ill wait on that too. But LST is nice and easy.... Tie the top of the plant down.... (read up first)..

As for the lights, just get those 4000k bubls out and get some better ranging ones in there :)

Where are your pictures?! lol

I only have 4ft so would it be ok to veg for 2 more weeks before I hit my estimated hieght limit, say to be safe if I let it get 15 to 18 inches id safely be within my 4ft limit,, if im understanding correct,,

I wouldnt let it get much larger than 15 inches..

15x3=45 inches
4x12=48 inches..

three inches to work with, providing they triple size..
They may not triple, may only double. But, Its a risk you have to decide to take ;)
plant indica or sativa?

You have to take in account how your lights are setup when dealing with height and you want to allow enough room for air circulation above the canopy

Unknown strain, but they dont have real fat leaves so im thinking indica,,, ok, so that brings me to my next prob, I wont be getting my ff trio for 2 weeks, will they last in flowering that long without the nutes?

2 weeks??? I would grab something to hold her over...Indicas are short and stocky with fat leaves, sativas are tall and lanky with really thin leaves and hybrids are inbetween depending on pheno

that's not 50 % dude... lol. OP it depends on strain and space available. In my time you learn the traits of your strain first grow then your ready next time, If you wan a ROUGH guesstimate, expect a little under twice the current height when you flip. Remember there is ways to combat the height when in trouble so don't worry too much.
