Hey wutz up ppl. Ok I was jus wondering when should I flower my pants if my grow room is 2x3.5x5.5?? And when should I top the plants? The seedlings r about 1.5 months old and my clones r about 2.5 weeks old. And should I put my plants n the sunlight r should I juz leave them under the light cuz they seem to be juz doing fine
When should I flower

ideally you want to wait until the plants are mature.. you know they are mature when you see alternating node growth and/or preflowers... there are a few other variables that need to be considered tho...
are your strain sativa or indica dominant? sativas stretch more than indicas, so you want to allow more room for them... either way assume you are going to have 2 to 3 times the size of plant coming out of flowering as it was going into flowering...
what kind of lights are you using?? if you dont have sufficient lighting to grow large plants, then dont... a good guide line for penetration ability from a light is..
400w hps = 1 ft
600w hps = 2 ft
1000w hps = 3 ft
those two things should be figured in... if you can wait long enough to mature the plant, the final product with be much better, more potent, and a larger yield... you will still get good smoke from a pre-mature plant, but it wont be 100% of what it could be... if the clones were taken from a mature plant, or if you take clones from a mature plant, they themselves will already be mature and are ready to flower...

yes waiting tell a plant matures is best but you can flower a plant anytime even right from sprout.

thats why i said you still can get good smoke from a pre mature plant thats good, but its not as good as it could be if the plant had matured... 
1 plant is a sativa and the rest r indica. I'm using 2 120watt grow bulbs

well... i would say when they are about 8 inches tall you'll want to switch them over..
if you can do any LST to them that would help maximize that amount of light you are using... but really, you need more light.. like 2 to 4 more bulbs...

yes what they said but sammy you should of broke it down to 150w bulbs as well because that about 8 inches in penetration , but you best bet it to start flowering them now if they have a months worth the veg time on them man because my nevilles haze(sativa) i veged it for a while its a slow growing plant so i veged it for like 3 months untl it got to 18 inches then i toppe dit and then i flowered it and it grew to 6 ft tall and thats even including some lst so it i didnt do that id think id get about 10 ft plant. and your indica plant expect about a 3-4 ft plant max bro hop ya have more room
