I’m growing for the first time in my bathtub I’m concerned about grow space because I’m in 15 gal pots I’m at 6 weeks. When should I start flowering?

What amount are you aiming for? What strain are you running, indica growth dominate or sativa growth dominate?
(Only applies to photoperiods)
I would defoliate the lower leaves of the plant and take out the lower nodes ( really small sites that aren’t going to make it close to the top of the canopy) that, after defoliation, don’t get enough light.
This will stimulate upper growth for expansion.

Yes. You’re right.

My aim is maximum quality yeild from the space I’m in which is a bathtub
Well all depends on how much space u have to work with. U wanna flip as they r just under half way to ur max height so if u have 8 feet high ceilings u don’t want to veg much over say 3 feet as the plant usually stretch to double size. If lights are worked properly it might not be a big issue but they get the stretch phase and they grow so be cautious on height

Thanks for your reply I’m gonna be safe and just veg em for 2 more weeks then flip it.This is the update after the topping. There’s a lot of cabbage peaking through.

Ya clean them up n u should b good. Plants look real healthy tho. I usally veg for 8-9 weeks with my grow space thats about all i can do. But its planty of time to top n train b 4 flower. Good luck growmie!!
What do you have for lighting?
I would think the net on a tub would make it difficult to impossible to defoliate/clip sucker branches under the canopy once they grow into it. Something think about especially if you don’t have a fan to blow under her skirt when it’s humid.
I bought a net but never used it because I’ve found a reason to pull plants out of the tent for maintenance on all 3 grows so far and a net would make that impossible once grown up through it.
I’ve seen advice on this forum for new growers to skip the net for the first few grows because problems are likely… just passing that along, good luck with the grow! 
Well here’s pics of the top and side view. The nets still going to be about 8inches away from we’re they are now. I’ve got a really nice canopy. I’m just afraid of the jump the first 2 to I 3 weeks in flowering. Thank you all again for your advice.

Gotta let pictures fully load, be patient. 
girls looked good, hope to see new pics @Waltjoe420
If you think they will jump to high during the stretch, place a second trellis about 8”-16” higher than your bottom one ( strain dependent; indica-8”-12” sativa-12”-16”). Once peaks are 2”-3” above the second trellis, start gently weaving through it. I’ve had times where I’ve had 3-4 branches that had to be weaved through mine constantly until the others caught up (about 2’ weaved throughout my trellis). Enjoy your grow, but definitely clean the bottom 1/3 of each branch about 3-5 days before flipping to flower. It’ll help with yield and airflow. Then every 10-16 days, in flower, clear out those large fan leaves covering up what could become some nice nuggies!!! Do this flower defoliation thing until about week 5-5 1/2, then enjoy until the end.
Sorry the pics didn’t come out I had some yellowing but figured out that my pH soul tester was on the fritz damn Chinese crap lasted all of two months. So my pH at the root was down around 5 after I did comparison calibrations based off what I know to be 7 pH water. So I think I’m in the process of fixing it here’s the update pics
Just flipped to Flower 2 days ago
