To flower or not to flower?

so my plants are all 2 months old from germ/ sativa dominant bagseed

this being my first grow they had every problem known to man during the first month ( stretching,fungus gnats, spider mites, pH problems, deficiencies, etc...) now they are very healthy and all showing female preflowers!!! out of 20 bagseed on a bs grow to learn i ended up with 15 females!!

question is i think? most ppl flower as soon as their plant has reached maturity- preflowers/staggering nodes.... but my plants were stunted due to a month of stress and are still just now about a foot tall and nodes are only about 2 inches max... im aware i CAN flower at this point but SHOULD i?

i have about a 7 feet max for the plants height wise and its pretty indefinite width wise (large basement) and im under the opinion that they are definitely sativa dominant so i know if given the ability they could get really tall...

anyway just thought id see what y'all would do?? :)

12" in the min height I aim for to put in flower. With 7' height available you can allow the plants to veg until about 24" if you want, as in flowering most plants with grow up to 2-3x its pre-flower height. If your plants are very happy and doing good, I would let them veg for another week or up to about 18" in case they make a stretch. Then flower away!

I like what Reverof has to say. If you have the space, 2 more weeks of veg can't hurt, it can only make it bigger and better. Just like dude said they will double if not more in height when you throw them into flower. Have fun and take pics.:weed::weed::weed:
