Depends how much room you've got, how much light you've got, what strain it is, soil vs soilless/coco etc.
Conservatively, your plant should double in size during the first two weeks or so of stretch before it really starts flowering. But that really depends on strain, growing media and light intensity. Yours looks like an 8-9 week hybrid (flowering time, I'm guessing), so I'd expect it to just over double in size . . . then get a little bit bigger and heavier as it flowers.
Me, I'd probably let it go another week.

I personally would wait a few weeks for the plant to get slightly taller, you have a even canopy right now. Six inches more of growth will give more nodes per cola.
You'll only get crazy dense buds with an indica dominant strain.

plants will flower planted directly from seed.
They'll also flower after 5 years of vegetating.
what do you mean by "ready to flower"?

thats not my experience, must be something more to it?

Yea maybe, I haven't had many dense sativas. Maybe diesel being the densest sativa dom in my garden. Indica plants were always more rock solid though. Just my experience. Maybe I need to tweak something.

that was my very first controlled strain I grew.
if you cannot supply necessary resources to the full grown flowering plant.....be a waste to veg a minute longer.
temps, head space, humidity, air flow/exchange, fertilizer, proper lights, good habits have to be covered, if yours are
grow to that limit.

That's a good question. Currently, the grow is being done in a 4x5 closet, ideally SOG setup or a well trained 1-2 plants. I went with 1 trained plant and she's already taking over about 2x2 feet. It's getting crowded, plant is getting taller, and I've never flowered an indica dominant strain. My concern I must say would be letting it veg too long, and not utilizing the even canopy I have now. Light penetration with this 600w equivalent LED isn't a problem yet. Also the pot size is 20 gal! Fox farm nutes.

I turned off the red diodes to allow the plant to be seen a bit easier for pictures

no such thing as "vegging too long" until after the fact.At any time during the vegetative state you can manicure your plant into any size/shape desired.
if this is your first time around I'd suggest skipping all the hype and just bring this one to a proper finish.

Vegging too long in reference to light penetration and the plant being too tall. I'm not a fan of lollipopping, this is 2nd go around. Appreciate your advice!
