Hi, all depends on the space that you have to grow. After 4 weeks you can flip to flower however you will have a small plant like this. Remember that you plant will take are the double in size during the flowering process.

There's not really a "time" to flip. You have to base it on your grow area. Obviously if youre working with a big area you can veg bigger plants. But if you're area is small then I'd focus more on LST and getting a even canopy and not waiting too long to flip and the plant outgrows your grow space. With you having Autos there isn't a "flip" time because the plant will switch on its own. If you're growing photos she will never make flowers without the 12/12 or 11/13 flip. I prefer 10/14 when flowering photos. Good luck

When she's fills the space you want her to fill and flip her on a 12/12 unless she's n auto then in that case teave it on a 18/6 the hole grow and she will just go into flower on it own

The fat banana auto will flower under 18h of light while the fat banana fem will need a 12/12 schedule. You can keep the fat banana fem growing for a while but don't forget that once in 12/12 she will stretch at least 2x their height

It is a matter of how much space you have. If you let it grow too much, it will out grow your space

It is up to you. But sometimes you can see when it is ready to flower when you see the 2 pistils from the female.
