dude, it depends on how much space you have and how much you wanna get, if i was you i would wait about 2 to 3 more weeks...
 
maybe but dont over do it they are looking great id say 2-3 weeks flower they are going to triple in size so...... ull get good yeild get some more light to the sides!

def give it another week.

heck, why not give it another 3 or 4 weeks even?

you could.. but remember.. this is how you can determine the final height of the plant too.

The longer you veg them, the bigger their going to be. The more roots the plant will have.. the bigger and more roots your plant has..

the better and bigger your buds are going to be... meaning your final yield. ;)

That's my thoughts.

peace. and good luck.

if you want to keep them smaller you would flower when they are a little less than half the height you want them to finish at. you can top if you want but i would reccomend giving them at least 5-7 days after the top before flipping the lights so that there is at least a bit of growth at the snip site.
