They will all flower but the smaller ones are likely to stretch out a little bit and wont have much of a yeild on them. But the big one should make up for the 2 little ones

no one can tell that without more information but they say plants when switched to flower usually increase in size between 2-4x what they are in veg so if its 6" it come become 12" but it might also become 18" instead but theres really no way to know but they will all flower no matter how mature they already are
I heard you can flower as early as you want, but that they will not do so until they are mature. So I come to understand that you can go 2700k from the start, but you use the daylight bulbs for veg instead because it makes veg/maturity take less time. Something like that. I am new.

you can veg under 12/12 but it will just produce shorter plants that will flower as soon as they are able to. you use the 6500k full spectrum/daylight CFLs or blue spectrum fluorescent or MH to mimic the type of light produced by the sun outside cause it has the same type of light that the spring or summer sun produces and the 2700k cool/warm white lights or red spectrum fluorescent or HPS have what the fall sunlight produces. you can use the flowering bulbs on a veg cycle however it will cause sretching by the plants
