I would wait another week even though they look ready size wise, you have no indications of needing to feed yet.

Do you water by the weight of the pots?
Or do you perhaps have a schedule written down somewhere?

OK, I don't think it's water then, and I don't see any signs of overfeeding.
You mention 21 days since you put into soil.......
On the off chance, and I didn't see anybody else ask yet, tap the sides of one pot, hold the stem, and gently pull it out to peep the roots-maybe she's getting root bound already, I doubt it, but maybe.
If you just watered, you might want to wait another day until your soil is dry enough to hold together when you slide it out.

Here's how I did mine, when I moved from the solo cup, and notice how the roots are all the way to the bottom, and starting to wrap around.
This was at 21 days from sprout, and I know your pots are bigger, but as long as you don't drop it or something, peeking won't hurt.

This was 10 days later, after I fed and transplanted.View attachment 2502893

Man, plants usually double in height if not more after a good veg and flipping to flower.
You should start reading on LST, supercropping or something.
I think you're gonna be really crowded.

Youre doing good. Some advice: The 100w are an ok amount (more can never hurt). The drooping is hard to say, first guess is not enough water, second is too much water and third guess is too high temps. If youre watering until it drains out the bottom and then waiting until the pot feels relatively dry then you are already doing it right. How hot is it at the TOP of your plant? What does your cabinet look like, can you show a picture of the whole setup? Do you have air being blown out plus a hole for air to come in? You said you are waiting until the plant takes up half the height of your space until you switch to flowering. However, your plant will grow about 3x its size after going into flowering PLUS dont forget you need some space between the plant and the bulb. Sounds like you should switch to flowering asap but its hard to tell without a picture of the setup. My guess is you will have to tie it down anyways since it will outgrow the space.
edit: you cant really see the intake fan cus its behind the pot.. the top fan is the exhaust or whatever.. where the hot air leaves the box. It's a small grow box i know, but im not looking for massive yields.Heres what she looks like in the setup... i just watered it. shit... maybe i SHOULD start flowering now fuck! haha.... -_-... any input? ill switch to flowering now if thats what i should do but ive also not gave ANY nutes yet, using ffof soil

It's already late man, you're gonna be crowded.
The plant should at least double in height.
The plant should at least double in height.
i guess thats what i get for just going by some grow video by hightimes or whatever that said 1/2 ur grow space then switch to flower... but ill just start flowering tomorrow i guess? would that be my best option? edit: i want to do 12/12 at 7am/7pm and my lights go off at 5pm. Am i safe to Keep them off for 14hours and turn lights on at 7am next morning to start 12/12 is that ok?

Yep, just extend your dark to the on time you want.
Reason I say it will at least double, is my last 2 outdoor plants just about tripled and I did them 12/12 no veg, but this one I am doing now, I vegged for a month, flipped it when it was 10" tall, and now look at it.

See how much tying I've been doing, trying to keep it in my 3' height limit?
