These plants are in gallon pots right now and they’re about a month and a half old or somewhere around there. I dont want really big plants with lots of bud just to make it through to my first harvest without them outgrowing their pots and wasn’t sure when to switch to flowering. They seem to be a little small for their age to me to be honest. Temps are 70-80 usually with humidity 40-65. In one gallon pots ffof soil

The one gallons will be their final pots. It’s an off brand light just kept at the top of the tent it was at 1500 lux when planted and they’ve been growing into it

If thats the final pot, I'd flip now. Add more/better light if you can.

your light will have the manufactures recommendations for light distance and intensity at all stages of the growth. Tall stretchy plants indicate they are struggling for light.

They're healthy enough, but as @Crazyman1212 said, they'd love some more light.

BTW, blurple LED lights should be avoided. They're old technology, from the early days of LEDs.

They started to get light stress awhile ago and I was told to put the light closer awhile ago and they fell over.

Myself I go usally day 30-50 all depending on how much room you got to grow and also if it’s a indica or sativa but I would wait till about 6-7 nodes and than switch it out so for you another 10-15 days than switch unless you got smaller grow than you can switch it now if you like

Nvm i see it is. Start at about 3500-4000 lux and see how they respond. Slowly push up towards the 6000-6500 max as they get a bit bigger but unless you have it very well dialed in you may not be able to hit those numbers. Make sure to start low and give a few days between adjustments to read the plants. If you need help with that just tag me

This is based on blurple on an 18/6 light cycle.

Not yet. They are still in opposite branching.
When the switch to alternate branching AND are half the final height desired, up pot and go for it.
