How long should the Flower stage be and what temps and humidity’s should I be lookn for, for best results

Beautiful plants.........well done.
Temps should be in the low 80's and humidity should be around 50.
Length of flowering stage depends on the strain..........I rarely have a plant finish in less than 10 weeks.
Good luck.

Plants look great. If this is your first grow though, what's in your avatar?
No need to do anything special when flipping to 12/12, but I would tuck the tops of the plant top left in picture under the net again, widen it out, there will be plenty of growth to fill it all.

Okay I’ll spread the taller ones out thank you
use this chart. It was my bible when I started growing. A lot of folks think a plant no longer needs N once in flower. This is not the case and they actually need the most during the beginning of flower. Your plants will stretch a good bit during the 2-3 weeks after flipping.
Not what you’re feeding but keep them fed and happy until the end.
Lastly, do not fret over breeder time estimates for harvest. Your plant will be finished when it’s done. Good luck. Your plants look great by the way.

Meant to say I’m not sure what you’re feeding….
Per Mitch Westmoreland's research for his doctoral thesis, after week 2-3 in flower, drop your tent temp so that the temperature at the flower tops does not exceed 78°. He mentioned this in one of his videos on "hemp" (look for that in the title from 2022±) but he also lays it on the line in a YT video in which he shares some of the research he's done for his Ph D. The two videos that dropped earlier this year are excellent summaries.
Of course, the other side of the coin is to get as much light on your plants as they can tolerate. I run my autos and veg my photos at 70-80 mol and I run my photos at >1100µmol. All research* I've read/seen on cannabis grow lighting indicates that yield increases in an almost linear manner as light levels increase so, if you want a large crop, give your plants as much light as they can tolerate. If you can't get your plants over 800µmol, find the reason and fix it. Cannabis is a total light whore.
*I disregard the recommendations from Shane at Migro and the folks at growlightmeter.com because they do not cite research to support those recommendations. After reading the research that was available when I started growing in 2021, I get all of may plants to 1kµmol ASAP and the yields have been well above seed vendor "estimate yields", almost double those values for one grow.
