I have been a bit neglectfull of my grows the last few weeks. Found these girls absolutly wilted last night. I gave them a heavy water and they perked right back up but with clear water stress damage done. What do you think is the minimum amout of time i should give them to recover before i flip them into flower?

I would trust it when the new growth develops normally. If it's twisted and mangled looking let the plant recover longer.

Eastamate in weeks?
The plan was to veg them all summer and wait for the heat to brake and bloom momsters in the fall. Now it is looking like space will be a bigger issue then heat. I suppose I will be jamming like 7 fans in there and super croppong like crazy fun times. Still hitting triple digits on a weekly basis. I need this coming la nina to develope with the quickness

I let my outdoor plants get bone dry in mid-summer before. The tender new growth never recovered fully and grew all mangled looking.
It was about 7-10 days before new healthy growth started popping out.

Those plants don't look terrible they'll recover in no time at all.
I'd flip them as intended.
Or
Trim them back to create fresh growth after there's new growth established I'd flip them.

Tbh I'm not big on vegging and even less so when there's a good foundation already there.

This was 10 days ± after flipping I trimmed (2nd left front row) back to its lowest nodes

Im not sure how to put this?
If you think about it bud always grows on fresh growth so is woody growth like dead weight, unless maybe its horizontal it only adds height which isn't great indoors, that said I might be overlooking something here?
