It's not oregano

Hello everyone.I am just after a bit of advice on when to flip my first grow.
I don't have loads of space, but reading on the internet the comments vary from hardly any stretch to 2-3x stretch after flip, so I am unsure when to pull the trigger. I don't want to run out of space, but I also want to use what little I have as efficiently as possible. I plan on scrogging for as long as I can while the stretch happens, then leave it to grow upwards.
Growing a bulldog seeds skunk #1 x northern lights in verve compost. Cabinet is 28" x 15" x 32". Currently just finished the 5th week of veg, the plant is 48 days total since breaking surface. Growing under 5x 23w 1450 lumen 6500k CFL's ,1x23w 1500L 2700k & 1x30w 1900L 2700k CFL. I added the 2700's last week to up the lumens, as I have no more 6500k bulbs, and read it would do no real harm to mix spectrums slightly.
As you can see from the pics I am just about at 50% of the screen. I am full depth and am slowly (this is not a fast growing plant compared to other peoples, but I don't mind) going sideways. The canopy is just below halfway up the cabinet, so I have roughly (not measured exactly) 14" of height left to move the lights up, canopy is 7" above soil level.
I transplanted 2 weeks ago into her final pot and also removed some of the lower leaves below the canopy that were growing into each other and not getting any real light, so she has not had any recent stress.
Would you flip yet, or give it a while longer, or have I arsed it up and should have flipped a week ago?
