Are these ready to go into flower?

Hello guys, please can you guys tell me if these are ready to flower yet?
My setup: 1.2x1.2x2m tent 600hps canna terra soil and canna range nutes. 15 liter pots.
5 of them are exactly 5 weeks from seed (all fem) and the 2 smaller are 3 weeks 2 days.
Originally had planned for only 6 but 2 seeds never sprouted and I had a runt (now is 2nd biggest) so that's why I now have an extra and they're all not same time frame (will be next time)
They are all lst pretty much apart from one I topped to experiment as is my first grow.
Excuse the wilt as pics were taken jus before they due a water. Also killed off thrips the other day that's why some fan leaves hav copper lines on but everything is fine.
The strains are mostly indica.
Pineapple express x4
Blueberry gum
Wedding cake
Millioniare guava
Thanks guys if I've missed anything out please ask. Appreciate any help.

Veg more .... allow plant to structure better.

Look at the stems where buds will form. Picture bud you’ve bought and the size of the stem in it. Flip when they’re close to that thickness.

You got lots of room yet. Can still let em grow some more. Maybe try to bend the main stem over and tie it down. Get the top going sideways a lil to open up the bottom.

Just from my experience. The hps makes em stretch like wild. So expect them to grow 3 times as big under an hps in stretch.

Plants are ready to go into flower as soon as you plant the seed. It all depends on what you want, how long you want to wait until harvest, and what you have to work with regarding space.

Longer vegged larger plants produce more final product but take longer to harvest, and take up more space. Some run short veg times with smaller plants and harvest sooner. If you have enough of the smaller plants you can get the same amount at harvest time as fewer larger plants.

There are many different methods of growing cannabis. I prefer shorter veg and smaller plants. Some spend months training one plant before they flower it. What matters is keeping the plants healthy from start to finish. Grow methods like SOG are very productive and quick. But SCROG is very productive as well it just takes longer to get the plant ready to flower.

Thank you for the advice. As they are 5 weeks veg now u think maybe 6-8 max? As I only have enough pot space for so much right?

As mentioned previously, photos are ready to flower anytime...just according to what you want out of it......my preference is... grow in 2-3 ltr pots, flower every photo at 3 weeks....just to keep'em small as my goal is quality herb regardless of yeild. Just had a couple of runtz bust loose and take over my grow area....if they had been in 5 gal pots, I'd have to move'em to the barn.

Believe it or not , you still have time to top and even “ shape “ LST them for a more even canopy and more tops.

But you’re in charge - you could flower now but you can improve your final yield by giving each of your plants a bigger structure.

Yeah I will definitely continue with lst for 2 weeks more or until my tent is mostly filled....maybe pretend there's a screen there and flower when 80% filled. I don't want to flower to soon and lose potential yeild nor to late and be overcrowded or root bound. There's no rush for me I also will get a separate veg tent soon. Thanks again guys

Thanks yeah I bent main stems over.. not fully over maybe 2 inches from ground then pulled down again when that grew but abit less. Now I will start pulling the budsites away from center and fan leaves. Bit hesitant as first time lst but I feel I have plenty of height....for now

A seperate veg tent is good to have. You can always have plants ready to flower rather using one tent for both veg and flower. You'll get more harvests that way.

I plan on 400w hps veg tent maybe in a 100x100x180. Seems like an 8 week veg would be perfect 6x15l pots nice harvest every 9-10 weeks hopefully

As another fairly new grower, it depends a lot on tent space and lights. At least 2 of your plants are about 2 weeks from being ready.
I am limited by space, so I made the plunge for a 24"x24" germinating/slow grower tent. My big tent is only 30x60x80, but life became
Much easier with the small tent and I can get a early start on the next crop.
So, it also depends on your pocketbook and mainly space.
