Does She Look Ready To Flower?

Here’s my Amherst Sour Diesel she’s been vegging for about 8-9 weeks, maybe a little longner. (Not even a foot tall) I’ve been doing lst and tie downs and topped twice. My goal was to have an even canopy and keep her short. I’ve never grown this strain before so idk how much she will stretch.
She is sexually mature too, the pre flowers/pistils are showing.
Does she look good enough to throw into flower or should I veg her out a little more? Can I get opinions on what you guys would do?
I’m growing in a 3x3 viparsectra grow tent so space is limited. She was also transplanted to a 7gal smart pot 2 weeks ago. I took a couple cuts to clone and to open up the canopy a little.

You have more then enough room in that tent u would fill out the who width of the tent then flip to flower. Get the most you can out of the space you have and it will only take like a week or two to fill it out and you probably wouldn't need to top much more.
So I should keep on vegging till the width is almost as wide as the tent? Wouldn’t throwing her in flower stretch her out a bit to fill out the canopy maybe?

Yeah it would fill out the width but don't you want big colas when flowering or just a layer of single buds either way it will do good it's just if you want to get more from your plant fill out the space why have a 6 ft tent when you only use 2/3 feet just grow in a cabinet?
And sorry if I'm coming off like an ass I'm not trying too. I know you want it to be flowering already the patience thing is the hardest with growing but why not wait 2 more weeks if it will give you a better yield. I've grown plants like that and plants over 6ft tall and me personally I like to veg for at least 8 weeks. But your plant should do good either way it's just the longer you veg the more yield. So you can flip it now or whenever if it were me I would wait till it filled the width then flip it.

Agreed. Topping and monitoring how many tops you will have. May want a trellis to space your buds and support them.
Yeah I plan on putting the trellis net when they start to stretch. I’ve just been trying to get those lower branches to really come out more. And thanks for the feedback!

A little lst on the taller branches will do some justice for you. Make a nice formation of spaced out tops. Should make out to be a nice looking plant. Happy growing.

Don’t worry brother I like constructive and honest criticism it helps out more than somebody saying I’m good all the time lol. But I do agree with you I think I’m gonna wait till she fills out more space before I flip so I can get that extra yield and efficiency.

I plan on doing just that and I might top a couple more branches I think it will help widen her out faster maybe.
