New Scrogger.. Flip Question

This is my first grow and I have started scrogging.. I am tucking and revealing many new bud sights, all seems well.. I read and read but my questio. Goes unanswered. When to flip isnt the issue, how to prep for the flip is..

Should I keep tucking right up until I flip, or should I stop tucking and let them come thru a bit before the flip? If I should let them grow thru before I flip, how tall should I let them get before flip?

As for my Scrog net, it was just a thing I threw together to get a bit of tucking. My first grow I wanted to try everything.. Now that I've experienced it, I see how I can improve my screen on my next grow20190228_183113.jpg

I was under the impression you keep tucking after the flip, while she's stretching.

That's why you only fill 60-70% of the screen, let the stretch fill the rest?

I'm still new to all of this too man, so hopefully someone better can pop on and offer some help

Nice job , looks good

Knowing your strain and how much it stretches once 12/12 is initiated really helps but generally i keep tucking up until 2 weeks after 12/12 then let them reach for the light. You'll be amazed at how much some plants still stretch after two weeks of flip. The 1st scrog i did i tucked until day 7 of flip and the colas grew and grew and defeated the purpose of a scrog as the lower bud sites werent getting adequate light. Just try and keep an even canopy before letting them go at day 14ish.

Cool, thanks for the input... that is an answer I hadnt considered, but since that is the way of it, it will change my flip day significantly
