Never done indoor but all depends on how much height you have to work with, how tall you want them when harvested and many others, flower them when you want them twice the height and when the shape and layout/ # of branches is where you want it. Pretty sure its popular to flower between 18" and 3'

Awesome job training btw! Those will produce many more branches if trained down lots , forces the lower 1/3 of branch to really grow, filling in gaps and ultimately becoming tops if done right and before flower from my experience

Also plants need a prune, during veg leaves grow fast, so removing ones that are heavily shading branches or soon to be branches, stimulates them to grow with more light, you will have more "fan" leaves in a few days. But i feel very beneficial when done selectively.

First, to the forum!

Indica strains double in size during the stretch, and sativas triple in size. Hybrids are somewhere in between. The plants will grow a little more after the stretch. When measuring the size, count from ground level in the pot along the longest branch to its tip.

Determine the amount of height you have for your plants to grow. This is usually from ground level in your pots to 12" (30cm) below your 'blurple' LED with it as high in the grow space as possible. Subtract the current actual height of the plant without going along the branch to get the remaining available height. The latest you want to switch is when the remaining available height is 1-1/2 time the plant size (measured along the longest branch) for indicas, and 2-1/2 times the remaining available height for sativas.

This will normally keep the plant at or below the minimum distance to your light. There are no guarantees though. I've had plants grow above the light using this method. This is just the best way to determine when to switch the first time that you grow a particular strain. Keep good notes, so you'll know how much it grows after the stretch for the next time you grow the strain.

I like the setup you have to train your plants.

So it's not to early to switch to flowering right now

No, you can switch photo period plants to flower any time they are above ground. The timing of the switch for indoor grows is usually to control the plant's final size.

Makes sense thanks
