Hello all,
this is my first grow and am not sure if i should turn them to flowering its a feminized blue dream , entering 7th week . i have a 200X120X60 tent and am not sure how tall they will be i have topped them once.

1) Should i turn to 12/12 ?
2) Plant B got stunned because i didnt change pot early enough (half root rot) got good again with lots of voodoo juice . i only have one tent should i leave it in and turn 12/12?
3) Plant D is drooped 2 weeks now . i had it next to the intake air (also where heat is coming from) i had to water it like a day earlier than other plants soil was gett9ng super dry . soil ph seems ok (used an electronic 50 euro prob to check). is there something i could do for it ? its shorter than other plants , does it need more light ?

for topped plants i'd say a this point in growth you can expect them to double or triple in size with flowering stretch.

seeing you didn't do much training and LST to spread them horizontally yeah i'd say it's about time to switch them, artificial light don't penetrate to deep below canopy and ppfd quikly decrease resulting in larfy buds bottom of the plant for anything too far from the light

but it's not like you must switch them now, depending how they fill the area in your tent you can eventually keep them longer in veg and work on their shape with some more LST and /or topping to fill the whole area with colas

I usually flip after 25 days. But what the other guy said you can do some lst and give it another week if you have horisontal space.but vertically lamps will not grow much buds at lower branches

I flip when I have 50-60% coverage of my flowering space's available footprint. I don't know what your space is like, but if those were mine, I'd supercrop them to spread them out low, and flip when I had 50% of the floor covered.

Yes, if you put a scrog net in you will not be able to take the plants out of the tent after

The only way I could tell if it's too much plant for your space is by seeing a pic of the plants inside the tent. You do have a large tent though so just from the dimensions I would guess no.

Super cropping and scrog nets are frequently used together, don't be afraid to try. It will give you valuable experience and more confidence with the plant.

Start with 2 branches and go from there.

Ok I was wrong it's full, maybe slightly congested too because it looks like 3 plants but there's 4.

Ok, here's what I would do.... I'm sure plenty of folks will disagree too.

Take out the scrog. Give the underneath of the plants a good defol and get rid of any crappy, low side branches. Flip the lights to 12/12. Watch the stretch for the next 2 weeks, then reinstall the scrog to spread everything out and lower the canopy.

The scrog is not really doing anything for you right now.
