CFL to HPS?

My first decent indoor grow (thanks to RIU). I've done nothing but experimentations on this cloning from garden bagseed stuff.
Started with some white cardboard & veg. cfls.
Built a small cab for veg and clone w/ 4 cfls.
Switched to flower 4-7 weeks ago with only 4 cfls (2 23w & 2 42w)
Finally got a decent start on my flower room (2' X 2 1/2' X 5-ish' closet). 250 w HPS w/ vented hood and a 6" inline fan. But I could be into the weekend or more before it's ready / usable.

Okay, I have problems. (as expected)
Veg cab is only 15" X 19" and 18" hight usable space.
My temps are higher than needed (but good with veggie lights), and the humidity is higher than wanted too.
My plants were into flower after a week or two and are still small as expected under the conditions.
I've some more clones getting set to go into the veggie box for a 12" V. grow with topping and lsting. (maybe scrog too).

Anyways, trying to put a picture here for help in your opinions on if I should put these flowers into the 250 at this time or if I should finish the way they are. They are also root bound with roots coming out of the bottom of the pots. Presently in 1/2 gal. pots. Things just got ahead of me and now out of hand. (Ugh!)
Judging from the pic (if it shows) would I do more harm than good by repotting into a 3-5 gal. and sticking it into the 250 HPS room at this time?
Honestly didn't expect anything to live and thus became VERY sloppy with the grow & dates.
I'm thinking this is mainly indica?
I should consider these how much into flower?
(Boy, have I messed up!!!! - LOL But learned tons from this)
I'm actually shocked that nothing died...... yet.

So, what do you folks think? transplant and sock the light to 'em,,, or leave well enough alone and learn from the mistakes?? :shock::joint:
Thanks,

i would transplant, give it a few days to adjust to that and then slap that HPS to them. they will probably gorw a good bit more after you transplant. when they get root bound and you transplant they kinda explode. look good tho man. frosty budds. i like that reflector too. smart idea.
