Should i fill out the scrog more before flipping?

There’s a SCROG in there? If so you might need another over the tops because stretch is coming when you flip.

Lol it's my first time doing one so it might not be right. But yeah I have another one in going to put over this one too I just don't know if the whole trellis should be full before or just flip and fill out the second as it grows

Not mocking. I just can’t see it on a phone with a slow connection. Youre obviously filled on this one. So suggest a second over. Commonly done. There’s threads. But get it down into the foliage and weave it under and through. It will not hurt them even though they’re limp sometimes after repeated moving to maximize squares. Then flip

Picture shows void area in upper right and lower left. Those areas can hopefully be filled and the longest branches trained in that direction so they canopy covers everything.

The screen is used as a training tool, if the branches aren't forced to stop and travel horizontally at the level of the screen it serves little purpose. The area is so small and the veg time so short that you might get better results with pipe cleaners and snap and twist training.

In an area that size I would have one plant, the other plant would be in a veg area a couple months behind it. Scrogs can benefit greatly from long veg times. Once a plant gets to the size you have now it starts adding mass fast and geometrically. A month of veg and it grows 4 times more than it did the month before when it only doubled in size.

Thank you for the response, I originally left those areas open because that's where I have my fans positioned but I've been trying to get the main branches to those corners but they don't reach yet. Should I veg the 2 until I have a full canopy? I plan on having a new tent for my next grow because 2x2x5 is smaller than I pictured in my head when I bought it (impulse)

It appears that you just applied the net but didnt used it as a training tool. You need to position the top branches under the net or tie them up. The point of a net is to achieve a even canopy in height

Tents are always smaller than what you pictured. Two tents, one for veg and one for bud are better than one.

Plants grow geometrically in size. This means even small increases in veg time have big outcomes in yield. The final say in this case is what you can fit when it's done and what the pot and nutrient system will support.
