Thanks ppl...

Usually, I wait until the plants are 18-24". Most people wait until the plants is mature (alternating nodes) before flowering. Since these were clones taken from a mature mother plant they are already technically mature so you can pull the trigger whenever you want. The longer you wait, the better the yield.

thanks tommy... yeah i was unsure if to put them into flower so early would make a difference, but i might wait then, if the yield is bigger... will this not make the plant go even taller once in flower?? thanks...

Yep as already stated, 18"-24" depending on your set up!

Yes, the longer you wait, the taller they will get. You can always top or lst to control height.

This is a question that gets saked alot on here by new grower's, but the simple answer is it is very hard to tell someone when to flower because we have no idea how fast yr plants are growing, if the room that you are flowering in has plenty of good height then i would not start flowering till the plant's are at least 4 week old, by this time if you have h.p.s lights like i do then the plants should be around 1 1/2 ft tall from clone this includes the rooting stage.But take into account the height of the grow room because some plants will tripple in size if useing low intence lighting like cfl's or flouresents.Even when useing a h.p.s light and haveing the light realy close to the plant tops mine have gone from one ft to 2 and a bit in the space of 12 days so take the height into account ..............tyke..................................

I find that my plants have crested about 3 weeks into flowering and do not gain much height after that.
