Yeah but if you wait too long, you'll be disappointed as well. Plants will double or even triple in size during flowering. If I were you, I'd start flowering now.
I'll tell you why I say this. I am going through that very problem right now. I let my plants grow to about a foot and a half tall before flowering. Now they are about 3 feet tall. With a 400 watt HPS, the plants are too tall in my opinion, the lower buds aren't gonna be very nice. They won't get enough light and they will be small & airy... so I really only have the top colas to look forward to. Next time, I will start flowering when the plants get to be about as big as yours are now.

Im 12 12 ing em tonight i have a 2 tube 4 foot floro over em. They are surrounded by 3 100 watt hps lamps and about 5 or so cfl bulbs. I have enough space to have ten feet if i need it. But smaller thicker denser is way better than long skinny and airy by far.
