Plants look pretty good! But if you are looking for help you are gonna need to give folks more info. What is the growing environment like, humidity, temp, air movement, nutrients, soil. What kind of light you are running and what actual watts are at the wall for it. What is the grow space, closet, tent, room with natural light plus led? Stay safe and grow on!

They're probably not ready for flower quite yet. A couple more weeks maybe. Good time to top those girls to help keep them short and recover before flower!

They're looking good tho! Keep it up!

I grow in my room. The temperature is about 20-23 degrees celsius. Humidity is about 55% . I got a little fan that is blowing in the direction. I use a normal soil mix. I give them so much natural light as possible and then give them the rest of the 18 hours under my Led Light (Phlizon 600W)

Thanks bro ! i topped 1 of them yesterday :D
Let them go a little longer before topping them. People will tell you that you can top them that early, and that is true...but a lot of peope don't realize that, when you top them that early, the plants take longer to recover from the stress.

Yeah maybe.. Yours look good! how long till you switch to flower ?
When to flip is a personal preference based on how big you want the plants to get. If you want smaller plants then you can flip them at 4 weeks. I veg mine for a minimum of 6-8 weeks. Also keep in mind that, if you top them, you'll want to wait at least a week after your last topping to flip them into flower.

Edited for clarification: When I say "weeks" in this I mean "weeks of vegetation" which does not include the seedling stage.

I wish I had answers for ya. This is my first grow and I'm learning as I go. I'm growing for fun so I'm not relying on a yield and expect to mess things up. I have an 8ft tall tent so I'm gonna veg my plants for a decent chunk of Time. I have two autos in my photoperiod tent and will probably veg the whole time my autos flower and when the autos are done I think I'll flower the photos. But I'm not positive yet lol.
