When Should I start the flowering stage

[BackYardFarmer]

I’ve had these babies for about 3 months, this is their progress. Should I start flowering the big one? Also what does the leaf signify? I had the fan blowing on the tops at a pretty high speed a foot away. Could be wind damage?

Just an FYI, many growers put their plants into 24 hours of total darkness prior to the flip to flower. You've got some really nice gals there but I would say trim the bottom most leaves off to facilitate watering. I like whatever that orange color tube is doing there...I'm guessing for watering? Nice. Take a look at my grow as our plants are pretty similar...

When 33% of the canopy covers the square footage of your grow space. Or the height is over ⅓ the total height of the space. It varies. But you should flip asap.

meant to say the darkness period before is to help it pick up on the red light quicker, but really doesn’t do much, better to do 30 mins every 4 days until 12/12, this helps the plant avoid “light” stress and less likely to hermie..
here’s a chart to follow..

Hell yeah Thank You! Yea the tube was to water under the top soil to send the fungus gnats to hell :) now I use neem seed mix instead
