wait till you get pre-flowers or alternating nodes before you flower or it will effect your yield,unless its a clone

you should wait till the plants are mature if you are wanting to get that much bud from two plant
you will want to lst or scrog or even both to get the most you can out of each plant
you dont have to wait till there mature till you switch you can switch whenever your plants will just be smaller.

2.5-3 zips per plant with a 250watt and only a 3 week veg. i dont think so
setting to 12/12 doesnt really matter what time you do it. maybe have light on at night due to high temps or you want the lights to be on when your schedule allows you to be home to check them out. its all up to you
good luck

above posts are good
bigger the pot the bigger the plant will get, the bigger the plant gets the more bud you will get its pretty simple really. there are some more variables but ya know, you wont get 10 Oz off a plant 1 ft tall lol. same thing goes with you wont get 6 grams off a 10 foot plant.
do some research on lighting, during flowering stage you want your lights to be good, this can dramaticly change the amount of yield you get.
all in all 5-6 Oz off 2 plants is definatly doable, i have 1 3 ft plant and 2 2 ft plants and im thinking im going to see about 5-6 Oz and 2 of them are small, got root bound and never transplanted them they got to about 1 1/2 ft tall and have gotten a little taller but not much for flower

i was under the impression he was just asking what times are good to have lights on and not saying he was putting them into vegg now.
definatly judging by your pics you want to wait another 3 weeks maybe 4 at least before going 12/12 once you put them into flower they grow a little bit more but not alot, keep them in vegg as long as you cant or untill you only have about 1-2 ft of space left (depending on your setup) you dont want them outgrowing your room
think about it, going by mother natures schedule, you can plant in May (depending on where you are could be begin of may or end) and plants dont really start to flower untill around mid july, (unless you have autoflowers and strain ect ect do play a role but im just generalizing here to give you an idea)
thats 4 months = 12 weeks vegg give or take depending on certain factors , where you live, what strain ect ect.
you obviously can play the role of mother nature and change cycles whenever you want
good luck, im baked and babbling

save them to a folder on your PC then use the uploader to upload them via rui, its the square picture looking thing to the right of the little globe above where you type your post.
hit the select files button then find your folder where you saved the pics and select them, they will all poip up in the uploader dialog box, then just click upload file(s) and it should upload them

Its possible to get 6 ounces from 250 watts of light, but it won't be easy.
To do that would require high yield strains, perfect distribution of plants, good pruning, and ideal nutrient mix.
I think 4 ounces would be a more realistic goal for a first time grower with a 250 watt light, and even that will take a bit of work.
In terms of when your lights should be on/off in 12-12, that depends on your personal preference.
Some people keep lights on when daylight normally occurs.
Another way is to try and keep your lights on only when you're home and off at other times. That way you can look inside without interrupting the light cycle, and its less likely that stray light indoors will give you way if you're not home.
If you're asking when should you do the switch to 12-12, that depends on what strain you have, how much space you're trying to fill, and when you want to harvest. Its dependent on your exact grow circumstances, and it make take a bit of trial and error to figure out the best time with your particular strains.
In general, you probably want to plants to show gender before you do the switch, and usually that means they have to be at least 3-4 weeks old first.
