When to flower (in regards to plant size)

Hey gang,

growing 5 plants in 3 gallon bags in a 4x4x6.5 space. my plants are between 9-11 inches growing under a 400 digital MH and fed using FoxFarm trio on homemade soil (soil, earthworm castings and perlite). Wanted to get some feedback when I should start flowering them.

Two of them are yellowing on the new leaves, I think I used too much FoxFarm (i fed every watering and used the chart, not 1/2 dose but what it said). I did not feed last watering instead used molasses. May do 1-2 waterings like that before I goto flower and add the last nute.

Any thoughts welcome.

Try to get the light closer the plants. When to flower is up to you and has many factors like harvest size, plant height, etc.

I thought the lights were too close as it is now, I guess I can make them closer. The room is 80 degrees lights on and 70 lights off. I can lower them where the canopy is basically touching the glass. Its not that how as I have an exhaust fan connected to the light which cools things down a bit.

In regards to when to flower, I did two plants last time using miracle grow and got 2oz from each plant (using 12 CFL's) when I vegged for 8 weeks and flowered for 12 weeks. I got the better light to get better yield but not take 5 months. I figured soup to nuts, 3-4 month. If I do that, I guess I would start flowering in 1-2 weeks tops?

Sound logical?
