I'd see nothing wrong with that. Depending on how much vertical space you have you need to remember; Plants will double, sometimes triple in size in the first few weeks of flowering. Veg accordingly.

I didnt know that, I am a first timer, what signs should I look for to put them in bloom?

When the nodes go alternating, the main stem will take on a zigzag appearance, and they are ready. Don't pinch for the last 3 weeks before initiating flower.

Ok I am almost at 1 month and 1 week

did none notice this? in my experience, i begin flowering at 3-4 weeks. Id suggest you can start anytime you want, keeping in mind that flowering will take 8-10 weeks

For least stress (risk of herms), wait for proof of sexual maturity before flowering.
Indoor strains (indicas and hybrids) range from 6-9 weeks.
