Wondering if I should flip in the next couple of days or wait a little longer. Almost 12" tall and a 5' high tent.

Is it showing its sex? If it isn't wait until it does, then it will be a mature plant and ready to make some buds.

I'm in a 5 foot tent and the last 2 grows my plants have managed to stretch way more then I expected them to. In my 5 foot tent the pot takes up a foot, the light fixture takes up 6 inches and she needs at least 12 inches between the light and the top of the canopy. That leaves me 2-1/2 feet to grow in.
I flipped these, this is on 12-24-2024.

They got close enough to the light that I super cropped them 3 weeks into flower. It can get crowded in there if they decide to get tall. but you have options like using a net to keep them trained low. Best of luck!

With a 5' high tent, I wouldn't go any taller. Don't forget you need to account for the space at the top of the tent you'll lose from your ventilation/light, and the minimum 18" you'll want between your light and the tops of your canopy.

I have a 6' tall tent. I need roughly 18" at the top for my ventilation/light, and another 18" from light to canopy. I factor in the stretch to double my plants height (although this may vary). Lets say you also need 18" to account for your ventilation/light, after also factoring in the 18" between light and canopy, this leaves you 24" of usable grow space - so if we're factoring in that the stretch will double the plants height, this leaves a maximum pre-stretch plant height of 12".

I let my plants get to a maximum of 16" in my 6' tall tent before flipping.

Another suggestion, mainline the alfa stems, prune and defoliate about 2 weeks before flower.

Many effective ways to manage the canopy. Especially if you take into account it's lineage.
Sativas and Sative dom. Hybrids usually stretch alot and for a longer time period.
Indica and Indicadom. Hybrids usually stretch less and are much bushier.

Yup for bugs. Never have bugs when there is basil in there.
