When is a plant mature

...enough to flip? Obviously longer veg times gives more bud sites and yield (if done right), but can I flip at 4 weeks if yields not a concern?

Is quality affected?

Generally from 3-5 weeks. Once it shows preflowers or alternating nodes thats a good indicator

Ill have to investigate exactly what those things are.

Im thinkin of flipping GG4 at 4 weeks to keep them a bit smaller and avoid the need for nets.

I didnt realize they stretch like they are supposed to and Im height challenged and dont want a jungle.

4weeks should be absolutely fine for that strain… its the heavy sativas that take longer

You can flip whenever you want or grow 12-12 from seed. IME if done properly, quality will be exactly the same as if it vegged 6 months

I flip when my canopy covers half my flower area.

When it borrows the car and brings it back with more gas in it.
