When should I flower these bushy fuckers?

You said your about 20" away from tops of the plants? I'd maintain that distance and keep an eye on vertical gains. Make adjustments as needed.

Day 1 of 12/12 I'd clean up the canopy, lollipop the lowest 2/3 of every branch that's worth keeping.
Maintain a veg nutrient but drop the strength to 1/2. Add 1/3 strength bloom nutrient. By week 3 of 12/12, veg 1/3 bloom 2/3. Then by about week 6, full strength on bloom and I'd drop veg nutrient entirely, or depending on the plant keep an 1/8 or 1/16 strength of veg nutrient with full strength bloom.

Keep in mind not all nutrients are equal, so as a general idea these dosing ratios are applicable to hydro, but could also be applied to soil, just managed differently.

Maintain healthy/ happy roots. The rest is all down hill.
