Vegetation to flowering

As Tead mentioned, it depends on your growing area and what you personally want out of your plants.

This plant is ready to flower once it is sexually mature. If grown from seed, many strains are mature in 3-4 weeks, if they are wanted to be kept small. If you are growing from clones, they are already sexually mature. You can keep either in veg as long as you'd like though, until they reach 1/3 to 1/2 your estimated final size.

Some strains will show you that they are sexually mature by producing pre-flowers. If you keep an eye out, these will tell you when you're ready and/or if you have any males. Other strains need to enter a 12/12 light cycle (or similar) to show sex.
 
This question is mostly answered by your growing area and needs.
As a general rule of thumb... the plant will double in size during bloom.
If your grow area supports a 6 foot plant, you might want to switch to bloom around 3 feet.
Many other factors can play into this, but I find that plant size is really the most important issue.

Thanks for the advice.I have 2 plant that haven't growen as fast as the others.not sure what to do with them.If I flip them now not sure what will happen.And I did HST on them about 2 weeks ago.Any other words of wisdom for me?:thanks::thumb::thanks:
 
I'll agree with Tead. Also, if you keep up with your journal you can post all of these questions there and your followers can help you out!

Unless you have another grow area to keep the smaller plants, you're going to have to flower them with the others anyway, so there's not much you can do to let them catch up. Some just grow bigger than others!
