You just want to repot right before flower so your roots can fill up the new pot during stretch. Your new pot should be able to handle about 1 month of growth for every 4L of pot space. If you repot during flower you're going to disturb some processes and lose energy that could've gone into your bud.

The idea was to put them in the final pot just before flower. 15L is pretty good but it depends on the size of the plant you want at the end. What is the height of your grow room?

2 metre but then you have the light so minus that... they have grew over the past 5 days from flip.. will it affect yield if they stay in them?? This is my first grow

I think your ok to just leave them. The biggest size you want for that space is going to be the 20L anyway so you'll probably lose more repotting and shocking them at this point.

years ago i seen posts about using huge pots. atleast 20L (5 gallon buckets) for auto flower. the idea was not to restrict the roots and huge buds would grow. literal 2L pop bottle size colas would grow. the pics were quite impressive. bigger pots were slightly better.
