Its really hard to say how long you should leave them in to get an oz. They grow a ton when you turn them over in flower so i'd recommend not letting them get 2 big because they like triple in size in flower

Whats a bag? I kinda have no idea what you mean but if i were you id get another veg light and flower the big ones. Then when the smaller ones get bigger flower those, itll probably take a couple months to gettem as big as the large ones anyway and then flower will be done on the larger flipped ones. Then youll get a bag off of em forsure

a bag is 28 grams man , I really don't have the money to get another. Tent that's why I kinda just want to get this grow other and done with so I can get 5 clones all the same age and chuck them in there so there not all different sizesWhats a bag?

Oh ok, an oz. gottcha. Well if you do get another light, a good veg and getting those other ones nice and big would pay for the light easily. Just keep an eye out on craigslist for a six or 8 bulb t8 or t5 setup. Ya might find a cheap one. I found a t8 8 bulb for 20 bucks with new bulbs in it once.
The reason i suggested another light is because if you want a successful fast moving grow you need two light sources. One for flower and one for veg, so your flower room is always flowering. Plants get cut down and new plants ready to flower go in
if this really isnt an option youre best bet on when to flower is when the plants will just be too damn big if they veg anymore. The plants will usually double or tripple in size when you flip to flower, so make sure you have the room for that. When you dont anymore then its time to flip usually. it looks like you have a good amount of room in there but ya might want to transplant the big one into a larger pot and start training it down a bit. Then its about patients if you want to get those little ones bigger. Id say you have around six more weeks till the tent fills up, but only two and a half or three weeks until the little plants would give you an oz (provided you have enough light in there). Good luck.

When to switch was a question I was pondering.
Some go 12/12 from seed to get a harvest quickly.
Others maximize their veg time for heavier yields.
A good general rule to follow though, if you're the kind who wants to get the most out of his grow, is to switch to flowering when your biggest plant is a little less than half as tall as the total height of your grow space. Cannabis tends to stretch a lot when switched into flowering; some plants will double or even triple in size! Waiting until your plant is big enough to fill your space and assuming you have a proper light on it can get you maximum yields for your efforts.

Exactly what I am doing my next grow, I have a big plant I'm vegetating right now but several plants that are smaller than it. Before harvest after flowering I'm taking four clones from the big plant and vegetating them for two-three weeks after they root only to switch them to flowering right away. They will all be female, same genetics, and should fill out my small 2x2 wonderfully.

Heckling aside, if you want 5oz from that big plant you might consider LSTing / tying the branches down to the side of the pot to produce more top kholas / evening out the canopy. Then keep that large plant in the middle of the tent, and arrange the smaller ones around it.
example I got this from a buddy who neglected it, the abuse is irrelevant to you but the process i used to fix the canopy is the same
The time it will take for your larger plant to shift hormones and grow / even out the canopy should also be enough time for the little plants to grow tall enough to match the new canopy height and give you a decent yield. What size light are you using at the moment ?

Don't go on what you want to get first thing to think about is the height you have,if i was going for high yeild in a small space like my room then i would scrog,i don't add netting till start of flowering,and then i set it about 7 inch above the plants then once they reach the table i start the training.But go on height they will normally tripple in height if they are not trained

Yeah man you can't really tell from pic but I have tied all of the side branches down and topped it a week ago
