Question about timing for flowering and clones

This is my first grow and need a little expert advice. These pics are at the end of Week 6 from seed. Strain in Magic Bud, nutes are GH using Lucas Formula 0/8/16, pH is 5.8, res temp is 70, PPM is ~ 900. By the way, pay no attention to the Bubbleponic tote. I have been going straight DWC - no feeder tubes - just 3 large airstones. As a side note, my seeds germinated in less than 36 hours in rockwool and had roots in the water in 5 days (without the feeder tubes).

My question is - are they ready to put into flowering? I had read the Jorge Bible that said you should wait until you see female pre-flowers before you put into flowering or it will stress the plant. These are 4 feminized seeds.

Also, when is the optimal time to take clones? I was going to take a couple of clones and put into soil just to get the experience of a soil grow.

Any help you have would be appreciated.

oh, and take clones when the branches have some thickness to them. the fatter the better.

They look great and ready to flower. Cloning is easier if they are still in veg...
Good luck...
NB - Thanks. I just needed someone who knows what they're doing to eyeball them and give a ball park estimate. I appreciate your input.
