??you plan on transplanting up?
As in sizing up your pots from eg 3gall pots to 5gal
using 5 gallon potsI presume you're aiming for bigger plants, and if you leave them in smaller pots you're limiting their size. If you look at the overall ball structure of a plant above the ground, the root ball below should be roughly the same size. So if you aren't going to up pot it, you may as well just flip now because with more constricted roots the plant and the soil don't behave as well either. It looks like you've got plenty of vertical height to play with and you can keep them lower with training so you don't run into trouble when you flip. But if you want a bigger plant, give it more dirt to stretch out in, or switch to hydro where a huge root mass can fit in a bucket.
installed net will tuck tonight and they are in 5 gallon potsI would add a trellis net at the top of your tallest plant nd then flip as the grow work then into the net so they stretch horizontally rather than vertically, you’ll fill out your tent with more evenly spread light resulting in more than 1 true top per plant
