Hi fellow grower, Looks great by the way! I personally like to start flowering photoperiod plants when they are atleast 35 cm in height - from the base of the stem to the top of the canopy. Or I try time it with the colder season, for example if winter is coming try start flowering 10 weeks back from around the middle of winter. This is the best for results because it will be the right conditions for flowering, give more terps and rezin and colour to your plants. If your plants are autoflowers you don't need to switch your light cycle. This is because they are made to automatically flower regardless off light schedule/intensity. The best thing you can do for autoflowers is give as much light and let it grow as big as possible as the plant is like a timer and its only a matter of time before she will be ready to harvest. I let the plant grow on a 20 hour lights on and 4 hours lights off cycle. But always keep your seasons in mind because they will affect your grow. Hotter months for growth and veg and colder months for flowering. Unless you can control your environment then no worry. In summary: I personally choose to let the plant grow as much as possible to get the most out of it come harvest time. I reckon wait as long as you can before switching photoperiod plants into flower, because you will feel so great knowing it got the best out of its vegetative stage and will result in a better yield and a happier you. Happy grow mate!

If these are going to be outdoor grows and your weather is looking like you can put them out soon, I'd get the photoperiods into flower now! The longer they are in flower, the better your yield is going to be! Your two autos are going to go into flower when they're ready, not when YOU are... you should keep them under 18/6 lights until their finished... If you have them in the same tent as your photoperiods and you flip to 12/12, they're not going to be as happy nor as bountiful as they could/should be... maybe think about separating them if you can so the autos can do their thing. Have a massively marvelous grow!

Mmm you got autos mixed with photos it appears. You’re not gonna get the most of those autos by running them in 12/12 light - which is what is necessary to begin flowering the photos.. soooo that’s not optimal. That said, I’d flip now. You’re photos are already bigger than the autos. So you’re gonna have much larger plants from the photos cuz of this. I’d personally probably top those photos to keep em shorter, then flip to help keep somewhat of an even canopy.
