i'm no expert but I've heard its not good because it could cause stress imo you should have waited a week before putting them in flowering for recovery but i think they will be ok
 
a better way is to put in 1 gallon black container. Then to transplanty you put a layer of soil in a 5 gallon container then put an empty 1 gallon into the middle of the 5 gallon container. pour your soil mixture into the 5 gallon, with the 1 gallon in the middle. Make sure you get all the way around the 1 gallon, tucking the soil slightly with your fingertips all the way around the 5 gallon, until all you see is a full 5 gallon with a full 1 gallon in the middle. Very carefully wiggle out the 1 gallon container, leaving a perfect 1 gallon hole in soil of the 5 gallon. Now take your vegging plant turn it to it's side slightly, squeeze around the container and the push on the bottom of the 1 gallon the plant is in. The plant will slide right out keeping the 1 gallon shape exactly. If it is root bound, take a clean razor blade to slice from top to bottom of the root ball. The you slide the perfectly molded 1 gallon into the perfect i gallon hole in the 5 gallon. fill to approx 2-3" from the top of the 5 gallon container. Slightly firm the soil on the top, then water soon. This process will not stress the plant in any way. If anyone need more of an explanation I would be glad to help. to do this way you must have the plant in a 12 gallon container, whether that is by putting a clone or seed.

if you got strong healthy plants IMO you can transplant at anytime just let original pot dry up a bit make your other pot by adding soil then watering to it tip plant over and stick your fingers into them water drains in pot or even hit the sides of pot till it loosens from pot then by grabbing lower part of stem carefully lift it out

yea i know how to transplant smothly just wondering how much risk there REALLY is transplanting after they are already a month into flower?
 
if you are transplanting to a larger container i would say the little amount of stress is well worth your plants getting a larger container which wil;l help your final yield.
