Is it a common scrog or mod scrog?
All clones?

I flip based on ther percentage the screen is full. This percentage is based on the strain I am running due to it's stretch and how well I know the strain.
I have no experience with blue dream, sorry. When I am forced to do a full run blind I try to research the strain cross as best as I can and make an educated guess at the screen percentage. My second and third runs with the strain is always better then the first but after a few scrogs under your belt you'll get close enough with your guess. Some strains I flip at screen 50% some I am around 80%.
I have a smaller plant count and run multiple strains on a more perpetual type schedule so mod scrog suits me best

I hope that helps you at least a liitl :)

Blue Dream 80% Sativa = stretch X 32 X 32 square feet. For me would mean 12 12 immediately after rooting.

Mod scrog= modular screen of green
This means, instead of one common screen that the plants fill together, there is a separate screen for each plant. This allows each plant, and also each attached screen, to be able to be moved around .... For maintenance, watering, light balance etc. This is typically achieved by building a frame for each screen that then gets mounted to the planter using riser legs.

See the planter on the left in the pic below for an idea of what I am describing.
