looks to be about half the scrog, so it should fill in the rest, sure. In future i'd try to train the canopy into a rectagular/oblong shape from the start so it can spread out evenly in the footprint you need to fill, otherwise it's more difficult to keep it level filling in the much larger gaps on one axis or end up having to prune shit off on the other axis. first couple runs of using a horizontal trellis just takes a little trial and error to reduce wasted time and effort getting to the same end point. helps visualize when you need to flip too, so that becomes clockwork... simply count squares... anyway take a picture at flip, see how it goes, then adjust the plant for next time to avoid any hassles or problems you ran into. you need 2.5-3 colas per sq ft... going beyond that doesn't add to yield... just distributes the same mass over more bud sites. having an end goal of X colas per plant helps the planning process. 9sq ft is good anywhere between 20-30 colas, give or take. These numbers are fluid.. some plants are bulkier than others and should be on the lower end of that range... talk lanky stuff might be better toward the high end. unless you are growing from seed, you merely pick something that works well for them all and hope for the best.

Yeah I would go ahead and flip them now or in about a week. going to be better to undershoot than overshoot, and if you finish early. then you just get to start your next round sooner. its better that way a lot of times even though that's almost the opposite of what i do. having plants for a long time gets risky. Better to have a smaller quality plant than a larger unmanaged plant. If your branches are pliable the snice shoots coming up just tuck those under the net in pointing out towards the edge like clock arms. It should reveal new shoots along those stems. those shoot during stretch should become their own colas.

Yes, but first lower scrog and spread plants, maybe you'll be forced to take off few leaves, but don't do it stupid and take a lot, some will be shading above, if you cant tuck them aside, they can go. Give few days to recover and flip.

Hi 👋 The stretch can be estimated based on the current size. It's important to know whether you're growing more sativa-dominant or indica-dominant strains. Indicas typically grow about twice as big as they are at the time of the flip, while sativa-dominant strains can also reach about 1.5 times that. For width, you just need good training. To answer your original question: yes, I think you should slowly initiate the flowering stage. They should be able to fill your tent. Good luck moving forward 👊👌🍀
