Should I switch to flower? First DIY drip system, /w pics

Hello all

I'm having a hard time deciding whether I should switch to flower yet or continue to veg my babies. I have 7 plants (6 female clones, 1 seed unknown sex) vegging right now, and I've tied the tops down on some of them to kind of supercrop them though I haven't pinched the stem (couldn't bring myself to hurt them lol)

What I'm wondering is how big they could possibly get if I flower now, the reason I'm worried is I've seen posts where people start to flower at 18" and end up with a huge plant, well mine are over 18" and I really don't have a ton of height to work with so....yeah, should I flower now? Will they fill up the rest of the space I have?

The light you see in the pictures is a 600W Gavita, and it's about 3 feet away. I know, I know, it's probably too far away but so far I haven't seen much stretch in the plants (pros please correct me if I'm wrong, pics below)

Also have a pic of my temps, the outdoor is my reservoir temp, the indoor grow room. Also included both Celsius and Fahrenheit for you crazy american folks! Yes I'm canadian eh....

Oh and my PPM is 1100 right now, haven't noticed any nute burn, using GH 3 part, wormjuice and thrivealive. So far the plants love it and are a beautiful green imo, though again, correct me if I'm wrong.

I have a 1000w HPS I'm going to add to the grow when I go to flower, so it will be 600w of MH and 1000w of HPS during flower.

Any comments are appreciated as this is my first DIY and I know I've still got a lot to learn. I seem to suffer from the 'no matter how much I read things I still have to do it wrong myself to understand' syndrom......

No comments anyone?

bump again.....

I would put them in flower, they are going to get mighty big.... what strain are you growing? Have you taken clones? If not, get some before you flower. You can help limit the height with LST.

The ones in the pic are all clones of my original clone which I bought off a dealer, unfortunately I have no idea what the strain is as the guy was a prick. I was thinking it was a pure indica but the original clone (which is flowering now) has taken 8 weeks and still needs longer so I'm hoping it's cause it has some sativa in it.

I'm going to try and build my bubble cloner this weekend, and if all goes well I'll take a batch of clones from them than switch em to flower

I'm doing a little LST with some strings holding the tops down and they've really bushed out because of it , I was debating trying SCROG

Here's a pic of the one in flower....guesses on a strain are HIGHLY welcome! Pun intended...

Yeh flower.
