Just wondering when I should start putting the plants into flower mode... They have enough room to get between 5-5 1/2 feet tall. One is approx. 14" and the other is 16". The strain is Pot of Gold. Thanks in advance!
When should I flower? *Pics*

Actually the best time to flower your plants is when it reaches sexual maturity, usually around the 5th to 7th week of veg, it's called preflower, and it's basiclly when your plant is telling you that she's ready to start her reproductive cycle.

its also best to keep it small cause light wont penetrate 5 feet

Yup.
Just because it can get 5'+ doesn't mean it should. Id start it flowering inside of the next 2 weeks.

i tried to keep my first grow small, and i did veg mine long enough to see sex, not sure how long i vegged can't remember, but i joined this forum sometime in august and my plant was about 2 to 3 week old already, and shes 8 weeks into flowering on sunday, so can someone with a brain do the maths and tell me how long i vegged her roughly?
