i dont have a clue. i have a huge veg room. i stick lots of plants in there, when i think there tall enough, i throw them in a flowering room. usually in the 18"-24" range for indica dominant plants, 15"-18" for kushes. 
doesn't really help me 
I know you go by feel, thats usually what I do, I have a cheapo microscope I use and sometimes I tear off the mature buds and let the rest mature a little more. sometimes I hack the whole thing down one shot. obviously it is strain dependent, I was hoping you would say somewhere around 3 months.
I don't have much for pictures right now, but I have 7 stalks that each house 3 plants. in the center between the tubes is about 2 feet. the apparatus itself takes up about half a foot of width so it fits pretty nicely inside a 3x3 square.
I am going to scrog them around the circumference of the inside diameter (of the 2 feet mentioned above) using chicken wire or something similar. I will essentially grow each plant horizontally, but not 100% horizontal, there will be an upwards spiral. with extended veg time I expect to grow them super tall but around the outside. doing this, with proper tie down techniques I expect to have no light escaping to the outside of the scrog, have all the leaves strategically tied down and basically do lots of maintenance. It is hard to put into words what I am trying to describe.

sorry 3 days in and i would like to report that Since tossing out my reflectors my room temps stay consistantly at 80 degrees f with no A/C help i actualy turned off my A/C.. im am thrilled becuase im sure that thing was using up plenty electricity. my guess as to why it is so much more cooler is that well heat rises and i have a fan in the attic pulling the air up so.. plus i started venting my scrubbed air out of the room for more of a negative pressure which im sure helped the most any who the room is awesome i built some homeade 8 ft reflectors with mylar they are working awesome. the entire tops of the plants are being drenched in light as well as the sides. i wil keep everyone informed oh yeah can someone tell me how i can post some pics safely

sorry forgot to mention tht i have a 1 ton a/c in the room as well as a 414 cfm fan and scrubber combo.. also a 300 cfm diy stanley blower fan pulling air up and over 3 600's it is dead silent, completely odorless and temp stable with 3 600's in a 10x8 room.. i have been working for close to 7 months to get my room to this point and i am dam proud of it. sadly i think i have profected my room, what to do with my time now?

I've heard others say the same thing about using croutons. Can you tell me more? I am having a bitch finding them in europe, and I kinda want to feel all the effort is going to be worth it.
Great op.

i was thinking today and wanted to get some opinons.. im going to run 3 600 side by side with 24 big plants 4 rows of 6 the last x o x i was thinking x x
of turning the plants everyday.. would you turn them or just let them sit staitonary. I know if you let them focus 1 side they will grow like a wall but what do you think of turning them everyday to maximize sq ft reaching the light?
