Roots Cut! What should I expect

Was prepping my indoor grow to move to flower by flushing aeroponic reservoir and putting in new bulb etc...

After refilling the reservoir, I noticed that I was leaking water over the edge.

The drain from the spray area into the main feed reservoir had become clogged with roots. I tried to pull as much up as I could, but I ended up having to cut most of the roots in the drain area. I removed about 6 inches long and the roots tangled together were about as thick as a quarter.

The entire upper spray area is covered in roots laying on top of one another so I don't think it will hurt them that bad. Either way I wanted to hear from a couple gurus. The plants are healthy and hearty btw, sitting at about 2.5 inches tall. Yes, I should have moved them to flower sooner. Ooops, newbie mistake number 3 and 4 :)

Thanks for any feedback!

My girls haven't cussed at me yet, but I am guessing that they will start to feel the effects in a the next 24 hours.

I can assume that the plants start using engergy to regrow the roots, but I am not sure of what else. Anyone wish to comment... Thanks!
