1st Grow Question

So this is my inaugural grow, just to get that cleared up from go.

I am growing auto chem dog, I received my beans last week and dropped them in root shooters plugs from advanced nutrients, at the advice of my hydro shop guy. So I planted them Thursday and to my shagrin they popped Sunday night (3days). It's now Monday and I had to move one plug with a freshly popped seedling to get better light, and in doing so I noticed the tap root was already poking out the bottom of the root shooter plug. My question is: should I move these guys to the 5 gal smart pot right now (day of sprouting in plug) to avoid stunting them or should I wait to allow the young seedling to grow a few days first?

Thanks in advance to your input

I ended waiting until day 2 to move the plugs, all is mostly well. 4 of the 6 tap roots look good, two looked a little weak but all seedlings are alive.
