I received these clones yesterday and am a little confused on what to do next. I woke up today and some of the leaves were looking burned, I noticed that they had dryish soil so I fed them, hoping that's what that issue is.

I'd like to fill my tent out more before flowering however I read that I should expect the plan to grow an additional 2-3X it's current height during flower.Not sure if I should put them in to flower right away or put up the scrog net and try to create a canopy (first grow ever though).

Well for starters, I'd transplant them into bigger pots sooner rather than later.

Otherwise your asking some really basic questions, you may want to spend some time reading at www.growweedeasy.com.

Bit straggly imo, so topping and lst first if you are thinking of scrogging, and maybe take some clones for next time

I was in the same boat as you, did you transplant them when you got em?

I was told to keep my medium as wet as the clone roots when I got them handed to me, so the clones could have an easier time getting used to the transplant and develop their roots.

also had burns like yours but to this day it doesn’t seem to be bothering my plant too much, I got no idea on the cause myself.

I’d say get through the transplant stress and trim any dead leaves as you go (bigger pots if you’re planning on vegging?)

cant really give any advice, just info from my experience.

Pic 1 is day 1 of transplant, last 2 pics are current with the burns still on. updates on my thread
