This being my first grow I am not looking for the biggest plants but I do want a decent yield. So how long/how much growth does everyone look for before switching to flowering? I have a 400W MH and some CFLs that they are vegging under and will switch to the HPS bulb for flower. I am not there yet but am curious what most people do.
Heres a few pics just for shiggles (heard Bob Saget say it on 1v100) ![]()

if you are keeping those plants in that system it would probably be good to veg for 3-4 weeks. then flowering should give you a decent quarter-third of an ounce per plant

Because you are not using clones you need to wait untill your plants show signs of clayx development which will happen when the plant is mature enough change the photoperiod and flower. After four or five weeks of veg. growth look for tiny organs at the base of a branches stem and the main stem of the plant. When you see calyx the plant is mature enough to flower. The clayx will also tell the sex of your plant. If the tiny growth is raised on a stem than it is a male. If the small growth is not raise in a few days a pistol will emerge and you have a female!!!! If you do not wait, and force flower you will (most of the time) end up with a herme, which is a plant that is both male and female NOT GOOD!!!!!!! The set up looks good.

Also dont confuse clayx with a branch growing off a branch. If you are not sure than give it a few days and you will know. Now anouther thing to.... if you are growing an sativa speices it may take 6-8 weeks or longer before you see calyx development, be pateint it is worth it. If you are growing Indica you will see calyx by the 6th week

I don't believe this is true. If you're saying that the stress of early inducement will cause a hermie, then most indoor growers who start from seed should have all hermies. Because of height restrictions, most don't allow seed plants to veg long enough to reach maturity (alternate phyllotaxy) before switching to 12/12. And the stuff about the calyx developing before flowering, I didn't know the preflowers were called a calyx, since that is part of the flower.

well as far as i know wich is from a few helpful posts from this site; switch your lighting to 12 hours of sun and 12 hours of dark and it tells the plant its time to flower. and after reading a few of these a few people say that if you give it a 24 hours dark period it increases budding. idk if this is true but itd be nice happy growing!
