When to begin flowering?!? White berry + Power skunk

I am currently growing 1 feminized white berry and 1 power skunk(hope it is a female). They were germinated about a month ago. My question is pertaining to when to switch to flowering. Here is some background.

Lights - 2 17w Fluoros, 1 26w CFl, 1 150w HPS
Soil - Fox farm ocean forest
Nutes - BMO organic nutes
container - 2-3 gallons

I noticed that I do not have enough lighting for veg and I am a little tight on money currently to purchase some more. For as far as they are into the grow, it seems as if they are a little small. I want to be yielding around 4/20 and I want at least an ounce.

What I am not sure about is how long should I keep vegging. Can I switch to flower soon? Should I buy some more CFL's? I know the amount of lighting I have is weaker and would not be able to handle that tall of plants. I want to yield a good bit of nug, so I almost feel like I should veg for a longer time. I just realized today that if I switch to flowerin next week I just may make my 4/20 deadline. Would this be a good idea?

Help me out guys, I don't know what plan to take. Any questions will be promptly answered so please post. :bigjoint:

If you have no money for extra bulbs then flower now as they will double in size. If you can add some more bulbs, then wait a few more days.

I'm actually approaching a month since they hit soil really soon. I know they're tiny for a month old, but at least I am in the normal amount of time for veg. They seem to respond so much better to the CFL and fluoros while in veg, but now I am thinkin it may be time to get the HPS running. My space allows for about 1-2 foot plants so I am thinking that another 1-2 nodes and I'll switch to flower. Keep throwin some ideas at me guys, it helps

Well I am officially 4 weeks into the grow and I decided that it was time to put them into flower (12/12). I have a great setup goin for them now and I think they are going to love it. They are about 6 inches tall and I hope to see them grow to about a foot and a half. I gave them a good 12 hour dark period before I put them into it, so hopefully that will work out for them and they wont be stressed in the transition. I also switched out my CFL to a soft white light.
