So this is my first time trying To grow so I started of with some very basic equipment and just 3 plants . I was nervous about Doing HST on my first plant so I sticking with bending for my first attempt . I was thinking about starting to flower the largest plant in another week but was wondering if I may be to early . There are about 14 bud sites with 3 nodes. The smallest plants I was going to wait hntil 5 nodes to top but didn’t know if i should wait to LST before topping .I was hopping for maybe some tips or help with my set up . also A local shop got me set with some nutrients for bloom and There schedule was wondering if they were worth it . any Help is appreciate !

Plants are looking pretty good. After changing to a flowering light cycle, expect the plants to stretch roughly 2x; but that will depend on lighting, genetics, nutrition, environment.
yes keep the veg and bloom switch on. The light is probably advertised as a 1000 watt equivalent but is not drawing near that amount of power. I don't think you need to start defoliating just yet; all the leaves seem to be getting lots of light. If you can, try to bump up the temps and humidity a little bit.
appreciate you response ! The largest is is a five gallon bucket under a beginner light 1000watt LED on veg and bloom . right now it is currently about 18 inches from the plant, but with growth I was unsure where to keep it, or if I should use the solid red bloom setting for flower . I will most likely wait another couple weeks to start . temp is kept at 75 degrees .humidity is around 52 . Also should I be pruning throughout veg or just once before flower , with the plant bent it makes it a little harder to tell what to cut and what to leave . Thanks again
Looking good!
Are you growing them all under LEDs? The 2 plants outside look like they're stretching for more light.
You can switch to flower whenever you like, they just wont produce very much at that stage. I'd wait a few more weeks. You can LST before you top, it won't hurt them. Topping at 4-5 nodes is fine, some people do it after just 3. The nutrients you've got look fine also.
Need more info to help with your setup. What medium are you using? What lights and distance from plants? What are the temps and humidity? What size pots are you using? The more info the better.
