First grow update. Is it time to flower?

So I have some plants going on about 6 weeks going into 7. I still notice small bites being taken out of some of the leave so I assume I have a pest problems still. I have ladybugs working on it and every day I see less so I assume they don't have enough food anymore which is good I guess
Anyway I have questions.
1. What should I do to prepare for flower?assuming I stIill have small pests.
2.should I scrog?
And
3. How do I know if a clone has rooted?

Also I'm getting rid of at least 2 plants one I'm giving to a friend and the other is most likely a male so I have a bit more room than it seems

Yes.. Things are defiantly going to get really crowded . as soon as you can determine sex, thin the herd.. Once them plants get really crowded with out good air exchange you run the potential of getting powdery mildew and or bud rot down the road..

Yeah 6 are already pre flowering but that last one isn't showing anything aobim keeping an eye on it I think I'm gonna throw that one and another female outside to flower but I don't want to flower in the tent until I'm sure I have no more pests

I'm sorry.. I didn't see what type of pest you have. Spider mites? Fungus gnats?

Looks like a good time to me

Oh small bites.. Possibly a worm of some type.. Got any pics of the leaf damage.. ?

Shoot I don't have the pictures on this phone but I posted about it a week ago the pics should be on there. so I thought it could be worms too but I haven't found anything could have sworn I killed a red spider mite like weeks ago after a transplant but I never saw anymore. And I know they don't eat leaves anyway so I'm stumped.

Is that a 4x4?
Scrog you probably want atleast 2x2 per plant, so I would say a max of 4 plants if you were to do that in there.
Honestly you might be best off just doing some solid LST, and flip to flower in a week or so
Spray with some neem oil to try and kill lthe rest of the bugs before you flip
Then release a new batch of lady bugs a week later

Thank you so much for the advice man ive been doing lst on them and they've bushed out reall nice . I've seen some things about not releasing ladybugs during flower. Have you ever had any issue as with that?

I honestly don't have any personal experience there. But from what I know, they shouldn't cause a problem.
They won't eat plants, only bugs.
Only thing I can think is maybe they lay eggs on your plant? Hahah
One thing I do know though. You do NOT want bugs in flower

Yeah definitely nobody. I'm thinking of using neem oil then spinosad and then flip to flower I'm heading out to get the stuff after work today
