Getting a lot of conflicting information on when to trim and how much. 3x3 600w mh/hps, currently 46 days from sprout and planning to flip to 12/12 from 24/0 in 7 days. Strain is Trainwreck so expected stretch is 2.5-3x, plus it's literally never experienced dark lol. Should I trim 2 weeks into flower after the insane stretch? Or before the flip? I've heard people saying to cut off the lower branches but my lower branches are thick as a mofo and most but sites are reaching the top. It should be noted that I've not done any trimming through veg. What do you guys think?

I would trim off the lower fans (not branches) to allow ease of access and better air flow.
24 hour light for veg is absolutely not needed, and actually it is a detriment seeing as the plant needs rest to transpire to breath correctly
I run my plants in veg 18/6 which saves energy and give the plants the time to rest.
During bloom I use 11/13 which is good enough.
Flip your plant now, do not go beyond 5 weeks especially in a tent as that plant will increase in size by at the very least 50%.
You seem to have the beginning of heat issues (droopy leaves), so keep the flaps open.
Now is the time to add some Calmag+, as when you transfer to bloom the extra N will be useful.
The plant looks good :)
Good luck!

Thanks, I actually started using calmag yesterday as a few of the leaves are showing slight deficiency. I really wanted to flip at day 50+ but the screen is over 50% and stretch will be intense... Plus the preflowering mentioned by the guy who commented above you... Fuck it, today is the day.
