Question about flipping

I got 3 plants in 3 gallon grow bags under a 1000watt hps. 2 of the plants I got a week ago in party cups and transplanted them in the 3 gallon grow bags immediately. The third plant I got a couple weeks before and had my friend veg it at his houe. I got it back and its transplanted in a 3 gallon grow bag as well. Id say there all just about a half foot, well my question is, I was thinking of flipping them at the end of the week, its only because two of the plants have roots coming out the little holes on the bottom of grow bag. I dont want to have to transfer them, I would like to keep them growing in the 3 gallon grow bags. They have only been vegging for two weeks, and everything is healthy and green, its just I dont want to veg them too long and then flower them and them get roorlocked during flower cause its happened to me before.

Any advice will help thanks.
 
Larry og is over a foot and the dog shit and the bubba are nearing a foot. The larry has been vegging longer though. I just want to know how long I can veg in the 3 gallon grow bag so it wont become rootbound during flower.

I would maybe give them a week to recover but im very serious about having plants perfect before flower. Why are you using such small pots?They say sometimes a gallon for each month of life. I always used superpots and never had rootbound plants.
 
There actually grow bags and there small casuse im limited on space. They are recovered already and starting to take off its just, I want to put two more plants in my room to fill in this extra space but dont want these plants I have to get too big and have to transplant them and there goes my extra for two plants
 
I have walk in closet with a window in it and thats where my a/c is at. I have a humidifier a fan and all the bells amd whistles in my set up its just I dont have enough plants at the moment but im not worried about electricity thats why I have the 1000 watt
