This really dependson the genetics. Some plants need to go vertical right at flip if you want a 18-24" deep canopy of good buds. Others may need training 7-10 days into flower phase to avoid outgrowing vertical space. So, there's some variance here.
If you think something is a "stretcher" keep training it with the scrog. If you think somethign is a bit vertically challenged, let it go early. If any area gets congest, selectively prune when it is apparent to do so.
over grown is manageable and only a few wasted watts in vege to get that excess growth, while undergrown is just wasted watts for 2+ months of entire flower phase. Best to avoid either situation, but overgrown is preferable because nearly all negatives are easily avoided.
