Should I bother scrogging if two out of 5 plants are unknown male or female?

Hey guys,
I've got 2 feminized White Widow x Himalaya Gold and 3 The Church x Deadhead OG regulars, one of which has shown her first female preflowers. I'm assuming the 2 feminized will be females even though they haven't shown yet.

I'm currently training them under a 3x3 scrog in a 5x5 tent under a 1000w HID. I'm coming up on 2 months veg in 9 days. I plan on flipping them then. I had 5 feminized seeds but only 2 popped. That's what screwed up my plan a little. So I germed the regular freebies that came with them to make for 5 plants.

The problem is, the other two plants are taking up space and I don't know if i'll have to cull them or not.
Should I stick with LST these last 9 days and forget the net this grow? This is my first grow, and I know when I switch to flower things are going to get real crowded, cause they're bushy as hell right now.

Or should I move the 2 plants that I'm unsure of sex outside of the scrog?

I'm thinking if I remove the scrog and go to flower, they'll just bush out more.and I have plenty of space for that. I can always pick up some stakes and tie them down to keep an even canopy.

Anyways, your thoughts and ideas are appreciated. Here is a pic to give you a better idea.I was thinking maybe I should should remove the scrog for the time being and space them out for 9 days and hopefully they will have shown by then? Too many decisions lol.

Nope don't bother yet no need ,take cuttings from them put them in soil and flower them ,perhaps even think about not growing in that method, when sexing. Either clone or just flower them and pull males out ,take clones for future saving a future female, that way your getting to see what female does best too.Plus those 3,will full that table no problem if you decide to hold back till sexed.Pity you ain't got another little area to flower those two ,

Remove the net.
You can fill that space fine without that net and learn what you can do with them as they are. Plus if you train through the net as they stretch and then end up with two males then your going to remove them and end up with a big gap in your grow. Without the net you can just rearrange your fems if needed.. Bend them , shape them, any way you want them.

OP, here is an easy way to sex your plants, assuming you have everyday access to them. Mark one limb on each plant with a twist tie, and every day cover the tip of that limb after 12 hours of lights on. Take it off each day after lights off. The tip should start to flower in 10-14 days. Good luck.

Those seem big to have not shown gender yet. Check near newest growth for gender.

I'm sure they are sexually mature. Two months in veg already.

I took the scrog net out. I'll post pictures soon. Only one plant has shown sex so far, from what I can tell. I just dont see it on the others and I was in there for 30 minutes looking just now. Taking that net out was like a breath of fresh air, lol. The plants are freaking huge. Like I said, I'll post pictures, but I think it's time for flower given their size.
This is the plant that is showing preflowers. This was taken yesterday. She's showing even more now.

So, these are 7 gallon containers and the tent is 5x5. Should I go ahead and flower? Am I looking at some pretty unmanageable plants if I don't soon, taking into consideration flower stretch? Two on the right are female. Bottom center is female (verified) I'm worried it will become unmanagable if I end up getting 5 females which of course i didn't plan for, but I'd take it!
