You'll be okay man. The ends of the roots might brown and die. But that's okay you have lots of roots in the soil.
That happens some times. IMO- I wouldn't worry much about it. Plants healthy? everything will be okay.

Good Luck on Your Grow

just make sure that the bottoms of the pot dryup to prevent rootrot outside the pot

The roots are running outside the pot because you have water/ferts in the catch tray below it.
Dump or suck out the liquids in the catch tray.
