Earlyest time to flip w/ minimal stress

As I understand, even if a plant is put in flowering (12/12 lighting schedule) from the moment it sprouts, it will still vegetate for a certain period of time. im guessing this will probably stress/stun/stretch the plant and the end result will not be worth the time and effort (not to mention space in the flower room).
My dilemma is that I have 3 seedlings (2-4 days old) and 2 2 week old plants, which are all from bag seed, but I just ran into lots of official seeds, so I definitely dont want to keep the bag seed plants as mothers (which is what I was gonna do). Plus, I just harvested, so the closet is half empty:/
My question is what is the minimum amount of time i could keep the bag seed seedlings in veg to minimize stress? I'm planning on cutting off any branches and using galon pots. Also, can I trow the two girls(hopefully) that are 2 weeks old in flower right now? I heard that red light and long "nights" induce males in earlly stages, can someone verify this? If so, how long until the plant "decides" on it's sex?

Sorry, didnt mean to offend you or w.e I was hoping you'd elaborate on what you are saying, as I don't know what the best thing to do here is. This is why I made this thread o.O ...and yes, I tried the search function and google.
So, what would cause me to have extriemly low yields?

What are the flowering conditions I need to achieve?

Thanks Stoneth! Well my canopy is completely uneven as it is, but im going to do sog after these last few bag seed plants. Right now I have a 3 1/2ft tall bag seed "sour strain" (if there is such a thing) and 3 12" tall clones (same plant) and a bunch of empty space cause I just harvested 4 autos I had going. I have a 2ft deep 4ft wide grow space, so the big girl is on the far right, and the hps is on the far left and slanted pointing right. I put up 4 42watt Cf's to compensate for the 2 1/2 ft distance beetween my hps and the clones/autos . I only flowered it cause I was gonna use it for a mother, but this strain takes 2-3 weeks to root, so I threw her in right after discovering that....she was 11" at the time...i guessed 2 ft at most after the stretch. Yeah...its really bad in there...i was on the verge of chopping her for hash countless times now.
