Running out of time to flip?!

[SoSay]

Due to a perfect storm of circumstances, my girls are about to go through a double dose of stress and I'm in need of some input . Here are the issues:

1) I've got to transplant 28'" plants in 1 gallon pots - of hydroton/ coco mix that I've been hand watering-into ~~~~>an ebb and grow system with 2 gallon buckets of hydroton

Ive been delayed in being able to make this move along with flipping them to 12/12, which should have happened 2 weeks ago

2)Minimize shock in transplanting plants that are too tall into another medium then flipping them into flower
So you can see I got 99 problems , any ideas???
Thanks

for me, Id rinse the roots well in a bucket of ph'd water till semi clean and transplant them. Maybe do some last minute topping/LST and flip em, maybe give an extra week for shock, new growth. If you run into height issues, then tie it down, tie it sideways to a wall, hang a weight off a string and bend it down etc God Luck with your grow
