a direct answer is you can start flowering anytime you like. I know people that start their plants at 12/12 the second they are out of seedling stage.

People like randy. But other people flower their plants depending on size of grow area. Keep in mind flowering at a small hieghtwill give you small yeilds.

Your plants look GREAT Gingerbear!
What I've read is that if you want the plant to produce to its full potential and provide you with the most potent buds you should wait til the plant reaches sexual maturity. Sexual maturity is reached when the plant begins alternating nodes and producing preflowers. This usually occurs around the 6th week of vegging give or take.

i say flower whenever you want.i have to flower mine very early for stealth reasons,but if i could i'd flower 'em naturally outside.
