Id repot it, let it double in size and then throw it into flower. 3-5 g pot will work fine. top it too. Looks good other then the bottom leaves are starting to yellow because it needs repotting;)

Depending on the strain, it may double in size during flower, or maybe triple. So consider that.
Yeah growing indoors can be a challenge.... read as much info as you can

There is no answer of when you should flower; you do it whenever you feel like. Size and age is irrelevant.

Cheers....so doesn't make too much difference to overall yield if I flower now or let them sit for another few weeks, double in size, then flower?? Gracias...

I've been reading enough I think...best way to learn is hands-on...I'll make mistakes. But hopefully after a few grows should be ironed out. Flower room is approx 1m X 1m, and maybe around 8 foot tall. With this in mind, any advice??!!! Gracias

Of course it does. But the question was specifically when can I flip, not when should I flip for roughly X ounces. While things like lights will need to enter the equation, typically bigger plant means bigger yield.

meh... theirs always more to learn. I been on a perpetual grow for 3 years now (50-75 plants), always more shit to learn. When you have problems that hit you hard in the pocketbook, you start paying attention to more details

So is there an optimum height I should be going for before I flip???? My flower room is approx. 8 ft.

Hey mate first thing you might want to think about is a transplant ... Also what light are they going under for flower how much are you aiming for.... bigger the roots the bigger the fruits

They're going under 600 with, in 1m x1m, approx 8ft high. I was thinking that within thinnest week I'd transplant 4-6 of them to 10litre pits and put them flowering.what ya think?? Or anything else I should be doing??

If your total height is 8 feet you better flip asap. Hang your 600 as high as it will go and tell us the height from floor to the bottom of the light. Then subtract the height of the pot and at least 12 more inches to indicate the proximity the tops will be to the light.
