It's all up to you bro. Most plants will double or even triple in size in the flower stage. Depends on your space. For 9 plants you might want to switch soon.

Cloning tomorrow night and switching myself.im in my 4th week ov veggin ive got 9 cheese plants under 600w at wot week wud b best to switch the lights from 18/6 to 12/12 and ive also notest tha some of my stems have started 2 snapp n lean to one side

your going to need tying up if there snapping now with no buds on it.. do you have fans in the room?? fans will beef up the stem strength.. but that needs to be done during growing up.. so flip the lights and get some bamboo sticks and tie the main stalk to the bamboo and any other stems that are falling over tie them to the stick or make a trulles for them to tie to.. when they start budding there going to double in length and once buds start they will fall over.. good luck and KEEP ON GROWIN

Just get some bamboo stakes. Tie them to it. Vegging it all depends. This grow I switched to 3 gallon fabric pots and been vegging for 4 or 5 weeks. Tell you the truth I never keep track of vegging times. I just go till I think is right. Last grow I should of veg'd longer. Why I did bigger pots this grow.

You need to actually have wind blowing on them. An intake outake system cools the room but i dont think it will produce enough air flow to cause the tiny breaks in the stem that the plant needs to get stronger. Think of it like exercising muscles when you exercise you cause tiny tears in your muscles and then they grow back stronger. It's the same thing for plants stems. I dont know if there is something rotting the stem however i doubt it. Pics would be very helpful in finding out if it's just the plants stems arent big enough or if there is another problem. I dont really see how the stem can break if it is tied to a piece of bamboo...unless it isnt tied in enough places.

the snapped stems is the reason i had to tie the bamboo sticks to the stem

You need a oscillating fan to move air around inside your grow space.
you should also not double post start one thread on the topic and use that one thread.
It sounds to me like you should do some more research befor actually growing anything if your plants are bending over and breaking in veg chances are they are pretty stretched out but it's hard to say without pics of the plants and the grow space and a little more info on your grow is it soil or hydro what lights are you using how close are they what are your temps and humidity like are you feeding them if you are what nutes are you using it is impossible to solve a problem only knowing the problem and not knowing anything about the environment they are in
