Flowering time and associated growth

[sedo1]

As my plant grows taller and bushier I keep wondering when I should start the flowering process. Factors that need to be taken into account are A. Amount of avaible space (4'wide by 3'deep by 8'high closet), B. How much time does flowering take and C. How much growth is associated with the flowering process during that time. I've read that the plant will stretch to around double its size by the end of flowering but I want to know what you guys have experienced in the past. Let me know

I grew a White widow and i flowered when it was 22" tall. It is now 30"

On the same note, I stuck a bag seed plant in my setup that is two weeks younger than my WW and it was 32" when I flowered it(12/12). Now it has soared past (over 5 feet) my WW and has about 3 times the weed hanging off of it. Go figure. This is my first grow but I think that it has to do with genetics. I also think that a scrawny plant (like the WW) is not a good indicator of how much of a punch it is gonna pack. Im hoping the WW will knock my socks off.

Peace
