Hey guys, my girls are two weeks into flowering now and I've got rid of pretty much all the males, now I just need to know if I should transplant them into 5 gal or something larger than the 2 g they are currently in. The tallest one is about 3 feet tall. Cheers.

Although you could, I wouldn't. If you do decide to do it, do it now.
Anything you do now, takes an effect on the plant, and even if this is good for the plant in the long run, it will take a couple days to recover, and anytime you do something like this, there is always a risk involved, however small.
They obviously arent having any problems now, but again if this is something thats going to haunt you, do it now rather than later.
I flowered just fine in an 8" pot.
Peace

2gal looks like it should be big enough for those size plants...Id just leave em if it was me. They look like some indica's so they should finish fairly quick

Well, it is my understanding that foliage and root growth halts during flowering, so the plant becoming root bound at this point is not likely.

However, once a plant is in flowering you want to do NOTHING to stress it....any stress, even small amounts have a DRASTIC effect to your potency and yeild.

And to put your mind at ease, my first set I never went bigger than 3gal pots...my plants were about same size if not bigger, and when they were done and yanked from the dirt....they weren't at all root bound to the point they should have been in a bigger pot.

I've grown in 5gal buckets and never got close to root bound, again my understanding is growing indoor 2-3 gal pots are more than enough...we don't usually give our plants enough veg time to go root bound in pots of that size.
