Should I flip to flower now? Height restrictions (stealth grow)

Sup guys just wondering if I should flip my 2 girls to flower today.. I have 1 orange cookies x chocolate diesel & 1 bubba something I forgot lol, in fox farm ocean forest (3 gal pots).
They’re under the spider farm 2000 (20%) inside my old dresser drawer, grow space is 2x1.5x3ft.
First time using trellis net and Im worried about flipping to early not letting them fill canopy. They’re okay but not quite wall to wall yet.. I also have a lot of baby shoots right under trellis net. Idk if I should veg longer to let them catch up with the rest or just flip to flower and hope they mature during final stretch.. any suggestions would be love thanks.CCFF2801-5EFE-433F-854A-4E526D9D49CA.jpegF6ADFA25-4BFA-4A18-91D0-8B489B3276A3.jpeg43CE78C1-4F1F-4177-B0EF-1B2C97477DC3.jpegF2926EDB-7E22-4B10-8056-4256FF5DBDB3.jpeg

Yeah, I would flip them, but I would seriously think about putting them in different (low profile) pots because they will be into your light in 3 to 4 weeks after the stretch. And I say that because just looking at your picture tells me you only have like 12 to 14 inches of height space before they will be to close to your light!

I know smh, I used these skinny tall containers I was gonna use for the whole grow before I found out I could’ve used wider pots. Tried putting them in short wider pots before but root ball was too tall so this was my best option. I’m really hoping this trellis net keep em down. I still have space for them to grow horizontally so fingers crossed

Using the SCROG they will grow outwards and up a lot at flip. As long as you dont let it grow any more vertical, you can veg another week or so imo. But you have to bend and SCROG them, theres no room to go up before flip.

Flip and keep bending the stems under the scrog for the next 2-3 weeks. I normally stop bending around day 20, but you can tell when the plant is done stretching. I try to stop bending the week I think the stretch is ending to let the tips grow above the net for a little. You can make it work, after stretch ends they stop most of the vertical growth. Just keep bending, the plant will be fine.

Personally, I use smaller squares in my Scrog nets. It makes it easier to keep them under the net (imo)

Just break down the root ball and transplant
At this stage they can take a beating

You could still use what you got, and just pull all them branches down so those lower nodes can really pop. Yah, I would lay them bitches down, and fill up the whole area!
