I have four plants in a 3 x 3 tent. it’s been two months since seed and it’s been vegging rapidly for one month. So what I’m wondering is should I veg it for a little bit longer or start flowering now since I do have four plants in only a 3 x 3 tent.

What’s that a little bonsai ficus?

you can flip to flower whenever. The plants can grow 2x there current size during flower. so you need to flip before you cause yourself to outgrow the tent. I’m not sure the height of your set up. I’m sure they can veg for a little longer. But they also can be flowered now if you just want to get the ball rolling.

Yeah it’s a little bonsai tree and I keep it with the cannabis plants and morning dew bug eating plant since they always die on me. I found the only way to keep it alive in such a small container is to give it constant nutrients .

I second this, you will want to flip soon so you don't end up outgrowing the lights or having heat/light stress issues. If you clone the plants and are growing photoperiod (non autoflower) then you can start knowing when to flip the particular plants you clone as they will grow very similarly each run vs popping seeds each time where its a roll of the dice.

I'd get better light hangers so their isn't so much distance between the light and top of the hangers. And I'd wait a bit. But that's me.
I don’t know why it looks like that in the pictures but in reality the lights are only about a finger gun hieight from the plants so like 5 inches away. Must be death perception issues in the picture my bad

Did you just lower the lights down that low? The plants are not looking happy with all that curling. Possibly overwatering or light stress.
No didn’t lower light. Plants just grew to the height. Also the reason why some of the leaves look curled is because I have fans blowing on them cause I only water every 2-3 days depending on circumstances. But I didn’t think 2 100 W sf1000s would be too much for my plants considering people use an SF 4000 for 4 plants in a bigger tent

Light intensity changes as the distance to the canopy gets closer. Meaning light strength is much stronger when the plants are closer to the lights. The manufacturer recommends a minimum of 12 inches, I believe, to the plants and that’s in full flower.

What those plants are showing doesn’t look like anything from a fan but a lot like light stress. Personally I’d move them a lot higher.

I don't think you got what I was saying. I was saying I'd make it so I could hang them higher by getting rid of those long hangers. That's really close already. And I'd wait if it was me.

Just took this picture today they’re looking pretty good right now. Also the reason why I look so bad in the last picture is because they were stressed out very bad because it was before watering and I stressed them out by cutting off so many fan leaves.
