Have you got them watered deeply? Those tap roots will head down fast so there should be moisture down there.
I start in smaller pots and work up in size to have a good mass of roots before they go into final pots. I also cut the bottom of the rootballs off at each transplant to make sure the roots branch out and fill the whole pot from top to bottom.
Those look like pretty good grow bags with lots of rings to tie to when training. I just use plastic pots.
Good luck with them!

Yeah pot risers and catch basins are a must have in my opinion. Good luck!

now I'm curious, why? I've never heard that before.

With my plastic pots I have them sitting in trays and if they don't have raised rims or something to hold them up a bit I use a glue gun to put bumps on the trays or bottom of the pots so water can get out easier. I rarely have runoff to remove tho.

Yeah, what he said! I'll add that I vacuum my trays out after a good water to help avoid moisture gnats.
To make life real easy use drainage tables

Is that a repurposed dog crate?
Pic 2 is a dog crate and pic 3 is the base out of it raised up on paint cans
