I would transplant to the 12 liter pots, you could put them right into flower afterwards or veg them longer afterwards its user preference really. They continue to grow and root into the new pots during the first few weeks of flowering.

I would re-pot and add some hotter soil for the roots to grow into..like adding p k rich guano. I have done both straight into flower and extra veg time. It really just depends on if I have flower room space to me. I think ideally I like giving transplant 10 days or so just to prevent any stress.

^^ I like that basic idea. Smaller size for young growth, then potted up with flowering nutrients but wait two weeks (or more) to actually do it.
