8 weeks veg, should i flower

Im 8 weeks into veg but i havent started flowering yet because i ran into a few problems. No nutes, Didnt have my 400watt hps at the time, and didnt have big enough planters to plant them in, and also had a problem with them when i transplanted them so i gave them a while to repair. now I have all 4 of my females under a 400w hps on a schedule of 18/6, in 2g pots. Should be all set. So i was debating whether or not i should begin flowering stage???

It's entirely up to you. Do you have the height to handle the stretch? Has the plant shown alternating nodes? Are there preflowers showing? If you answer yes to all of the above...then what are you waiting for?

well you will notice when the plant is young...the nodes that come out from the stem are exactly at the same spot on either side of the stem. As the plant matures...the nodes start emerging at different points on the stem instead of beside each other.

If you don't know what I mean...maybe I can find a pic.
