At what height should i start flowering if i want my finished plant to be around 16 inches tall as i have a limited grow space its 2.5 feet high and im taking into account the resevoir height and lighting so at what height should i flower the strains are bb blue cheese and lemon skunk.

im doing uncle bens topping teqnique and cutting at the second node when it has 5 nodes so in theory i would have to wait for it to grow out before flowering.

good luck with that. even if you started them on a 12/12 light schedule they will probably be taller than 16".

give it a shot and let us know.

I've grown 18 inchers under 2 "24" inch T12s. The key was topping the plant while using low wattage (40w) CFLs and 12oz Red Plastic Cups. The undersized pots allowed the clones to get root bound at "8" vertical inches after a 2 week 24/0 veg. In the end, it wasn't worth it as I only got about 4 grams per plant. I'm sure there are more effecient ways of doing it, but that is how I did it, and that is how it turned out for me.

lots of info on scrog already, but I should think that will be your best option. Remember that once you start flowering, most plants will double in size in about 2 weeks or less. They may continue to stretch up to 4'. Your going to have to stay way on top of this grow space. No matter what though, you need to leave at least half your vertical space for flowering.
