How tall in veg under a 400HPS and a 6ooHPS before flower????
How tall should I let my plant get before I flower them, to get a good yield? 3 of them (female seeds grapefruit) are 23 inches and 6 of them are 16 inches.

It depends how tall your ceiling is and the amount of light on the side; but generally plants will stretch 100% to 200% once you switch to bloom.
So typicaly a 26 inch tall plant will be 50 to 60 inches tall two to three weeks after flipping.
I'm growing a couple now that easily stretched 300%; so the rule is only general in nature.
If 50 to 60 inches tall is too tall for your area look up LST, which stands for Low Stress Training.

be aware a plant can double to tripple in size during flowering. plants should stay 28-30 in from an air cooled 600w hps....the bigger the plant the more it yields... it kinda depend on the space ur working with...if u have an 8 foot roof id say flower now

They have already been topped, I was going to wait till the 6 smaller ones that are around 15 inches now, get to 17 inches then flower, I have 8 foot celling.

Well it sounds like you should be fine then.

28 to 30 inches?? Try 12 to 18. FAIL.
I have a note from my Doctor

from my experience my plants grown under a 400w hps grow 80%-140% after switching to 12/12. But thats just my set up. basically double in size give or take 6"
-
I keep my 600w about 12-14" away from canopy but I also don't have any heat issues it stays at 74-75 at canopy.

for the best result
you need to get the whole canopy the same level a week before flowering
topping more if the strain takes well to topping
lst of lifting some of the pots up
most of the buds will grow on the top 12" of plant closest to the light
so if one plant is 6" higher than the rest, you will lose a lot of your yield
