There's no too thin... you make that decision. You veg longer you obviously have more time to tweek your plant on how you want it to and how big it will grow. So it's up to you bro. They will continue to grow in flower for the first 3-4 weeks keep in mind. And any major pruning should be done before flip. And killing off smaller bud sites before week 3 of flower.

What's 13/11... goto 12/12. Hour cycles I use thru veg to flower is
24
20/4
18/6
Maybe 16/8 for a week then flip into 12/12

Nah you're good. Unless you have grown this strain before. Don't do a bunch of shit to it.

Bamboo stakes if the stems can't hold things up.

Flip the plant when you want,The plant will more than double in size during flowering any how ,Just get a fan Blowing on the plant ,not too much this will make the Branching thicker and stronger.
