[Titus Titan]

I've got 2 plants ones 16 days old the other 11 days old but both are only about 5 inches tall, i was thinking i would start flowering at week 3 but think the plants will still be quite short, they are bushy though, does hieght matter if they are bushy and compact? and will 3 weeks be ok

wait until they start alternating and you will get a much better yeild. this usually starts between weeks 4-6.

Do not try to force flower. The only time I would suggest force flowering is when you are growing a long flowering sativa. Usually most plants will tell you that they are ready to flower by showing preflowers at their nodes. When you first see this sign then you are good to begin flowering. Usually you don't have to force flower so much anymore cause a great majority of strains have a lot of Indica in them nowadays. Wait till about week 4-6 (as mentioned earlier) and see if anypreflowers have shown. If not then give it one more additional week after week 6 and then if no signs have shown you can go ahead and flower. Also, you will want to consider the fact that most plants can double and even triple in size during flowering so you may want to measure your grow space and see if you have enough room to contain all the plants. If you find you don't have enough room the go ahead and flower. Hope I was some help.
