Most will say once the screen is somewhat full. They look really good from your picture. I think more tucking and veg. for a bit longer. Looking good
Thanks. They have been growing about an inch a day so I was thinking about flipping them this friday. I just dont know what to expect from the stretch, this is only my second frow and first time growing an indica dominant strain

1-2 weeks isnt very long. the longer you veg the more you can yield.
weave those tips in and out of each square, fill them all up, trim all the foliage underneath
the screen and flip

If you flip now your cool screen will just be a cool bud support, instead of a bud factory.

Ok thank you great info. Does it matter how many tops in each square or do i just fill each squre up with as many tops as i can?

Not sure what chemphlegm meant by weaving the tips in and out of each square but the entire branch is under the screen not weaved - maybe he just phrased it wrong. In order to avoid having a screen that is just a support trellis, I have found that tucking through the 3rd week of flower will give you an even canopy with a crapload of 8" colas sticking up. One top to one square.

Do i fill the screen completely before fliping to flower? Based off the pic i posted could you give me an opinion on how much longer i should vegg just to give me an idea?

If you fill the screen completely you won't have any room for the new growth from stretch. Most people start flower when the screen is 50% to 60% filled.

20170123_122749.jpg I vegged and twisted and braided until the first trellis was almost full. This is how it looked when I flipped. I was a little rough with them and tore up some leaves, but they always seem to bounce right back back.
