I would say the absolute earliest you could flower is when you see roots. Thats what you asked for. Atleast 10" or so would be better.

Its just that I have one plant flowering now that is 5 foot tall, I waited too long to flower, I want to get it much earlier this time to keep them to about 3 foot really

I know the rule of thumb is they will double to triple, so many flower at 18inches to be safe? but you could still end up with a 5 footer i would imagine. I think mine will end up right around 3 foot

A reasonable rule of thumb is to start flowering when the plant reaches about 12 inches in height, as in flowering it will triple in height to about 3 feet, but this all depends on what strain you're growing and whether it's indica or sativa dominant. Indica dominants grow short and bushy and Sativa dominants thinner and taller.
