I don't do soil so I can't tell you about the transplanting... but I can tell you about what I just went through with light and roots.... even the tiniest littlest light, not even direct light will cause the roots to dramatically not grow.
You can see for yourself in my 1.2 journal. I have my clones under less than 60w of floros, not very powerful light, and I had the roots shaded, but even the weak light reflecting off the dark shelf the plants were in, were enough to cut growth. When I covered the reservoir completely the roots grew an inch overnight. The hydro helped... I don't think you'd get that growth in soil, but I do think that even the sideways light that gets through those semi opaque containers is stunting your root growth... and from what I understand the roots are very important in determinite almost all aspects of growth and yeild.
So.... you might want to consider either covering those, or doing a two layer thing if you still want to watch the roots. On my little reservoirs I left part uncovered to watch the roots... I just put some paper in front of the opening when I'm not looking.
Good luck with the company, haha.
