Small Timeline Issue - Should I flip to flower?

So I was planning on flipping to flower next week or so when my plants reach my scrog net. ATM they are about 4 inches short of it.

I had an unexpected emergency and I have to leave for 12 days, starting on the 11th. My issue is I do not want to completely ruin my scrog plan, but I also do not want to have plants that go crazy while I am gone with a stretch. I could lower my scrog and flip today, which will give me 8 days before I have to leave, but then I can't continue to scrog while I am gone. (raising the scrog to accommodate extra veg time is not possible. Space will start running out vertically if I wait too long)

Do you think I should go ahead and flower or just let them keep vegging, then just cut them down to just below where I wanted to flower at and let them come back? I am kinda partial to letting them continue to veg and cutting them back, but wanted some other opinions.

*Growing Silver Mountain by Bohdi. It is a sativa hybrid and sativa dom. clones were used, and I know from prior grows that the stretch can be substantial.

Im noob but pics please

That's a tough decision. If I were in your situation I think I would just leave them in veg, until I got back, rather than flip them into flower and have to deal with trying to weave a shit ton of growth into the net when I got home.

BTW, you could also cut them back, before you leave, and then that will give them time to grow, recover, and be ready to flip to flower when you get back. If you cut them back when you get home, then you will need to wait even longer for them to recover before putting them into flower.

Damn, such a ez solution that I just never thought of lol ya I think cutting em right before I leave and letting them come back for 2 weeks will really help out. Thank you
