You can start 12/12 anytime you want, even from seed. So it is at your discretion when you flip the light cycle. Just know the bigger you get them in veg, the tall they are going to be in the end by means of stretching. Those look pretty indica so you shouldn't have ridiculous stretching.
If you are only using that light you have there to flower you should flip it now for sure.

i dont have personal experience but in your position i would let them go another 3-4 weeks in veg! the bigger they get in veg the more the yield ul get!! if ur in a hurry to get done then start flowering! its up to you at the end of the day and what ur looking for!!

you should expect a big difference in yield if u let them veg another month i grow autos so what im saying i know from my friends and they let their babies get at least 3ft before they start flowering and they average around 3-4 ounces per plant. i tell u its up to you to be honest i would let them go another month cause when harvest time comes its better to get 3ounces than 1!!! now if u dont have smoke u will not view it like this but i would still let them go more and the more they go the more of a yield u will have!!
ya man i totally would love to let them get 3 feet tall but i have only 36 inches of total height space not counting the inch or so i would like to have might above the plants whern they are full size i started budding them yesterday and started there LST i will get more pics today......my lights just turned on
thanks for everything guys ill keep the pics comin

I would wait at least another 4-5 weeks. After you fim you need the plant to recover at least one week. Besides all that, thats a nice fim job. Do yourself a favor and hold tight, The Bigger the Yeild if you do.
Also you may want to try FIM ing the preflowers (2 weeks In). Experiment with a few tops and watch and see. You will be amazed in 3 weeks.

Are you going to try FIM in the preflower stage?

When you FIM in flower, you wait until you see the white pistils showing (2weeks in)then just fim that. What will happen is ~ The bud will grow 4 heads and girth will be X2 if not x3. What I did was on first plant I fimed 3 bud sites, and was freaked out for 2 weeks thinking I made a mistake, then all of a sudden it exploded. So then the next plant that went 12/12 I did 1/2 of plant and same results. SO now for kicks I do 1/2.

I was stationed at Fort Rucker, Al. for awhile. So I would spend all my free time down at Panama City.
Yeah give that Fim in flower a shot. Just the pistils 3/4 off. It's crazy.

this is a picture of FIM in veg, same goes for flower, except you want to only fim the top pistils when they first show.
