Should I flip to Flower?

I'm still very confused about how to SCROG correctly, in fact I really have absolutely no clue and have read nothing but contradictory information.

Anyways, do you think I should flip my plants to flower, or give them more time to fill out the net?

There are 2 Critical Purple Kush that are clones I took back in December, put the rooted clones into solo cups on Jan. 3, and transplanted them into their final pots (17") and in the flower tent on Jan. 15, so they've been vegging for a while. I just don't know when to flip, and if I were to trim all of the stuff under the net I would have basically nothing (because the plants are so short and under the net).

I can take more pics if these don't show enough, I havn't tucked them today so they are above the net but I have been trying to tuck them daily.

Your choice. All based on space and your desires. Can they be flipped now? Sure they look great and will likely double in size and give you a great harvest if you don't run into issues. Should you? Well that's a question only you as the grower can answer. Looks like a tent and seems most folks flower at 12-24 inches in tents. If your tent can handle a bit more height wait a bit... if maybe not, then not a bad idea to go ahead and be safe and flip now.

It is a small tent, it's 2'x4'x5', so 5' tall. I have had problems in the past with even short growing indicas growing right into the light, which is why I chose to put the net at only 8" above the pots. Im just still having a hard time (6 grows on) like determing the morphology of the plant, which parts will become what and when ... until they are flowering, then it is easy.

I am growing in 17" pots (30L) in promix HP (1st time), with GH Grow/Bloom/Micro with a 400W HPS air cooled reflector (with it's own dedicated 400CFM AC infinity exhaust but turned down to like setting 4/10) and 140W HLG LEDs (2 x QB120 v2) and another 260CFM exhaust for the tent with passive intake.

Chop all the bud sites below your net. You seem primed to flip to flower. Just remember your pre flower stretch just might over load that small space. Lollipop her Bush underneath, and just get to budding after a 5-7 recovery from lollipoping. Try that and see how that works.

Pre-flower stretch happened already, when I put them in the tent I also topped it (they were too tall) and the new main growths stretched by 5" in like 1-2 days, but that has ended. So there should only be the actual flower stretch now I assume?
