It'll probalbly overfill that space before stretch is done. Could probably flip a bit earlier next time... You want roughly half the space filled at flip. This is a bit different per plant -- some stretch more than others. you can combat that by continueing to train lanky plants longer into flower than you do with bushier/shorter plants. Let the bushes go vertically immediately after flip, but train the lanky plants down an extra 3-10 days depending on how lanky they are. This delay will result in an even canopy without too much work. Could top them a bit after flip, too. Use whatever tool will most effectively result in the shape/growth pattern you want. 70% x 70% = 49%, or roughly 1/2 your space... So 70% of length by width dimensions is a good time to flip. You can always prune off congestion or overcrowded areas if it does overgrow the space. Keep it healthy.

Well your tent is 160cm. Allow a foot for the light will leave you just over 4 feet. You want at least 18" distance from light . This means a 3' plant (from the floor not soil) is about your limit. You have a sativa in strawberry cough. If that trebles then a foot is gonna be a lot. Advice is don't have carbon filter above the light so you can grab a few inch. Run strains known not to stretch much. Like indica. Use training techniques like scrog supercropping topping. I wouldn't use things to chemically change the plants functions Use a taller tent/growing space. If you have no options left then dimming the light will let you get nearer Hope this heps

Depends on your height constraints. Be aware some varieties can triple in height. Back in the day people would use growth inhibitors when they ran into height problems. Even i am guilty of using giberellins to halt the stretch. But the research shows a link between giberellin ingestion and liver cancer. I used it 1 time back in the old pirate grow days where money had to take place over conscience. I used it about 12 years ago and i still feel guilt about it.
