Are they autoflower? They should show sex in 12/12 unless vegged for a very long time. Looks like it needs a fan on the plant also, the stem looks small and if it gets 2 to 3x the height in 12/12, then will not be able to support the weight and fall over.
 
no there not auto flower those pics wer takin a week ago and all am asking iss shud i start it noww coz i just want to flower them noww and also if my stem is to week i will just support it tt

My plants are 4 1/2 weeks old are almost double the size of yours. I would wait a week, maybe more. Try lowering the lights

I throw mine into 12/12 at around 12 to 13 inches tall. My first grow I bumped a light and broke the top off and was 16 inches tall(harvested (3oz 10 grams dried) and my last one I didn't break the top and was 30 inches tall(had to harvest early and was about 1.5oz dried). I have 2 in 12/12 now that I put in at 12 inches and other was 10 inches and they are 16 inches and 15 inches tall now after a week(ones a clone and one is sativa from seed).
So the answer is yes, you can put yours into 12/12 with no problems as long as the stalk can support a plant that is over 2 feet tall.
