How green is too green?

Hey Everyone

First time grower here, I have these CB Dream on about 7 weeks now, wanting to flip them to flower soon. They are in soil and I haven't been feeding them very much, about a half dose of reefertilizer grow every other week, however they look super green to me right now. I've read about excess nitrogen delaying or affecting flowering and I'm wonder if I'm starting to cross into that territory and if I should completely back off the feedings and maybe even give a couple light flush type waterings before flipping. I don't have any nute burnt tips but a couple of the bigger leaves have a bit of a curve down at the tip.

Lighting currently is SF-4000, was previously 8 T5 bulbs up until last week.
I PH everything, watering about once every 4-5 days.
Humidity about 60%
Let me know if there is anything else you need to know.

Pictures are with lights off, one with flash one without.

Never heard of too green. Once you start to lose the green color, that’s when the concerns should kick in. I would be more concerned with a light green color than the color green you have.

Ok, thanks for the input guys, seems like everything is with in the normal range and I'll just follow my gut and pull back on the N feedings in anticipation of the switch.

Hi mate,what hight you running you're lights above the canopy? I've got the sf4000 running with 4 autos in biobiz light mix, the 3 northern lights I have are very small and bushy, all 3 are very very green.IMG_20200604_204952.jpgIMG_20200602_203304.jpg

Hey I just introduced it 5 days ago they were on a T5' at like 5-8 inches,So when I introduced the SF-400 I started at 30 inches and have dropped it a couple inches every other day to now 24" as I'm still in veg, I'll be gradually lowering to 18 when I start flowering next week and and will keep lowering until about 12" as long as the plants continue to handle it well. SF recommendations for hanging height for various stages can be found here

The one in the back looks like it's being over/under watered.
