When to flower clones?

Hi everyone. I am just looking for some input on my clones. This is my first grow so hang in there with me. They are 3 weeks from cutting (approximately - I have had them almost 2 weeks and they were rooted in rock wool when I got them) and I just want to know how they are looking and when I should think about switching them to 12/12. They are under florescent lights now ( I raised the lights to take the pics), but I will be putting them under HPS for flowering. Thanks for the support and the input!

you can put them into flowering as soon as they are rooted,, it depends on your preference (size wise)

Thanks. For me size is not really too much of an issue. I am always second guessing myself - I hope that stops with experience..LOL...

Hey Manny. If I wait longer will the yield be higher? Or should I just do it now as you say? Also, should I repot them first into 3 gal. bags? They are in 1 gal. bags now. Thanks for the help everyone!

You will get much more yeild out of them if you wait longer....

expect them to at least double in size when you flower. but clones are a mature plant and once rooted can be flowerd at anytime. comes down to how much ganja you want!

Thanks Techna. I was originally thinking I should wait about 4 weeks to change the light cycle. So that would be in 2 more weeks. Would you suggest even longer for more "ganga"? Sorry for the rookie questions, but I am learning as I go. I appreciate the input.

2 weeks is plent,if you flower now and have some other clones arriveing,you will have buds in 8 weeks,and more clones ready to go,it is all relative the longer you veg the more bud,but also more time spent if you get my meaning.

Well how tall do you want them? if you veg till about 15 inches or so then flower expect 2-4 ounces per plant depending on if they are treated well. i am going to veg mine for about 2-3 more weeks. that will be at 8 weeks from when they were cut.

Great thanks for the help! I will wait and get them bigger. My grow room is 10x13 with 8 foot ceilings, so the height is not too much of an issue. I am going to go with your 8 week idea. Thanks again!
