Hi everyone! So this is my first grow, the left one has 2 months in veg and the other two like one and a half. Should i switch to flower after the stems from the last tops grow? I’m afraid they don’t have space anymore.
Also, any tip is appreciated as this the first time i will deal with flowering. Thanks!!:weed:

I'd flip now if I were you, I usually flip around 6 weeks depending on strain cause I don't have much height. How much height do you have? Measure your plants and they will double that (give or take) during the first couple weeks as you switch to flower.
Feed them veg nutrients for the first two weeks or so of flower too as they will need a lot of nitrogen then go to bloom nutrients.

Woah thanks a lot! Great tip as i tought i have to switch the nutes when i switch the light. Also, should i go every day with an hour less light so the transition is smoother or just flip them in a day?

yesss thanks so much, so refreshing to hear this. Ok so the plants are 70 cm with the pot and the closet is 150 but i can take a shelf out and make it to 180 cm. And Defoliation should start at week 3 in flower?

Not necessarily, leaves are important and if you overdo it, will do more harm than good. After the stretch is over no more major fanleaves grow, but these act as large light collectors and also store nutrients. Removing them in a soilgrow - you have to feed more nutrients and more early.
Though it's always ok to remove defunct (yellow, wrinkled, dried) leaves to allow light to reach better the buds below.
