when to flower

[ocnugs]

I have a 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 and 7 feet high grow tent
1000 watt enclosed hordilux light
12 clones in soil 3 gallon buckets
temp hovers in the mid to high 80's
humidity 60%
running at 18/6

these are 2 weeks old now and about 12/14 inches just wondering how many weeks should i let this veg?
I know this tent is a bit small for the light but ive managed to keep the heat down. this is my first time so any good advice would be helpful.
thanks.

If the clones are healthy and strong you can go to flower at any time. Keep in mind they will likely double to tripple in size during flowering. Also the more you veg the more you will yield in the end. Flower early and have bud sooner of flower later and have more bud.

For me I would veg those longer and do a little LST to thicken them up. Right now for my grow I am planning about 6 weeks of veg. If they fill out sooner I will go to flower or veg longer if needed.
