First off, great job so far man! Looking healthy and awesome. Your screen looks to have a good amount so far. The amount of stretch is really gonna depend on the strain. Some will stretch 3x in flowering and some will barley double there hight. Sativa or Sativa dominate hybrid strains will stretch more then Indica ones. But generally they will double there size and stretch for the first 2-3 weeks of flowering. Just keep tucking your branches whatever way you can on the screen and try and keep them as level as possible. Once you notice there slowing down in growing if you are running out of room on your screen you can let them come up and put a second screen about a foot above your scrog screen and let them grow into this to support your massive buds your gonna get! Hope this helps. I have some pretty detailed grow diaries if you wanna see how my plants are scrog’d and how much they stretched. My delicious candy is just finishing up her stretch (they stretched way out for being indica) and my Banana bomb are mid way through stretch phase. Hope this helps, Cheers 💨

Also you will notice your gonna get a lot of foliage and the best thing to do is at about the 2 week mark cut everything off bellow your screen to bare branches. Your leaves are also going to get really big and block light from bud sights. You can remove the larger ones a couple a day when needed to open up these site, or you can tuck them away if possible. You don’t want a bunch of leaves all bunched together anywhere or your asking for mold. Keep some sort of ventilation(small fan or something) bellow your screen as well to move air around bellow. Also don’t have your fans above the screen ever blow directly on your plants. Either try and keep your fan blowing just above your canapy or at a wall if you can do that.

I second what Russrahl is saying. Stretch is going to be very dependent on the strain, as well as light height and some other factors. Sometimes its a matter of just flipping and seeing how it goes. It's good practice to plan for a significant stretch. Lots of times it's roughly doubling in size. Once you have a basis for a strains stretch you can plan in the future to flip earlier and train in the earlier weeks of flower. Good luck with the rest of your grow, it's looking beautiful!
