Is it time to flower or not?

First off let me start this by saying I’m new to this page and I’m sorry if there’s 100000x this post. My first grow,have been fairly aggressive with the training techniques figured I’d try everything on the first grow and get it out of my system. Bought all the top of the line soil and nutes(even though I use apox 1/4 what they say to use) as well have been using the ph correct water with them. I’m just curious what you guys think about my plants and if they are ready to flower. Everyone has that one buddy who thinks they know everything about growing weed just looking for opinions. Good or bad to help me move forward. All input welcome. Thanks for the post and for any advise

ready when you are captain

I would do a little cleaning first. Like removing fan leaves that are growing inward (aeration wise.) and remove any budding site that are to small or and to low.. Within the lower part of canopy. So you put thecright energy growing atvthe right place.

How big are your lights. You do know that some plants double or triple in size right? I would also recommend you do a scrog

Realize that plants will continue to grow the first 3 weeks at 12/12. My indicas go from the veg room to the flower room when they are around 24 inches. I know they will double in height so at 3 weeks flowering when they quit growing and start flowering they are the correct height under my 1000W bulb to maximize flowering.

Good luck, BigSteve.
